Play Soap Client - scala

Question

I am reading this article
https://playframework.github.io/play-soap/SbtWsdl.html
and based on this. I wrote the following build.sbt file
name := "PlaySOAPClient"
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.11.8"
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.typesafe.play" % "play-soap-client_2.11" % "1.1.3"
)
WsdlKeys.packageName := Some("com.foo")
WsdlKeys.wsdlTasks in Compile := Seq(
WsdlKeys.WsdlTask((sourceDirectory.value / "main" / "wsdl" / "foo.wsdl").toURI.toURL)
)
and plugins.sbt
resolvers += Resolver.url("play-sbt-plugins", url("https://dl.bintray.com/playframework/sbt-plugin-releases/"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-play-soap" % "1.1.3")
When I do sbt compile the plugin does generate some code. but that code does not compile
Error:scalac: missing or invalid dependency detected while loading class file 'PlaySoapClient.class'.
Could not access type Configuration in value play.api,
because it (or its dependencies) are missing. Check your build definition for
missing or conflicting dependencies. (Re-run with `-Ylog-classpath` to see the problematic classpath.)
A full rebuild may help if 'PlaySoapClient.class' was compiled against an incompatible version of play.api.

Does anyone have an idea of what dependencies are missing. Note that this is a client side application only using this library to make a soap call. I don't want any server side dependencies of play framework.
My hope is that I will be able to use the play-soap as a standalone library in my console application to make soap calls.

Answer 1

Add dependency to build.sbt
libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe.play" %% "play" % "2.6.7" intransitive()
Then sbt compile should work (after sbt update).

Answer 2

Honestly, including the entire Play Framework into the application purely for the sake of WSDL client seems to be too much. All you need is to generate annotated Java beans and make a dependency just on them. And you can actually do that with common tools i.e. using Java's wsimport and sbt tasks to wrap it around.
Consider the following bootstrap template for this: https://github.com/sainnr/sbt-scala-wsdl-template. It generates all the boilerplate in-flight, compiles before the main sbt project and eliminates the need to commit this boilerplate Java code to your pristine Scala repo. If you notice, it doesn't even require a complete application server, just throw in some JavaEE-ish libs like rt.jar or its alternatives. Hope that helps someone.
