Answer 1

It looks like you are using play 2. Look at the documentation of morphia, it clearly states:

This module is for the Play 1.x series only.

Instead of using morphia, you can use the java driver directly.

EDIT: There is a morphia plugin for play 2 available here

Answer 2

I started using Marphia with play framework 2.x. I followed this example to install marphia plugin: https://github.com/czihong/playMongoDemo

Answer 3

Just as a note, I forked the playMongoDemo and updated it to work with Play 2.1.4. I sent a pull request, but in the meantime, it's available here: https://github.com/subdigit/playMongoDemo

Once/If the pull request is accepted, I'll probably delete the local fork so you can use the master: https://github.com/czihong/playMongoDemo
