There is a list of usable frameworks in the creators blog of Atmosphere. I want to use scala and the Play Framework included with Atmosphere. In the blog he writes that Atmosphere works with "every" framework. Could it be that easy to integrate Atmosphere, and how?
I understand that this isn't necessarily the answer you were looking for, but I would suggest you look at Play's native comet support.

Do you have a particular use case that Atmosphere can solve more elegantly? If so, here's a thread that might help.

Yes, take a look at this project - it's a native implementation of Atmosphere running on top of Play!
I'm looking for this too. The benefits it would give are graceful degradation from websocket to long polling and a common api for these both client and server side.

I have an application written in Scala/Akka and trying to add SOAP support. Anyone did it with Alpakka? Or what is the best way to do it. So far I think Camel is the best solution.
Currently, Alpakka does not support SOAP, but there is an open ticket. Your best bet is probably to use Camel integration in your Scala/Akka project. To that end, take a look at the streamz project or the Camel integration module in Akka (the latter is deprecated but may serve your needs).
There is also a library that provides some SOAP integration with Play.
Im looking to mock out calls to a third party API from my scala microservice. Can anybody recommend a library they have tried and tested for this? I have seen a couple of older and not very active projects on github, but they do not look too promising.
This mock server is appropriate for your purpose, like alternative, you can look at [simplle framework][2], which is very simple in use, btw, they provide examples of usage.
I used wiremock (Java)
It's very simple and yet powerful.
Hey I love Play Framework Scala and I also am falling in love with Firebase. I was wondering though, I'm planning on building an app using AngularFire and I'm going to need to do some server-side logic/computation and make some server-side queries to Firebase. Is this possible to do with a Play Framework Scala setup? If so what is the recommended approach? If not, is it coming? If so when? I think it's so cool that the Firebase guys used Scala to build Firebase, but I'm bummed there is no Scala API to work with (that I can see). Maybe I could use the Java API somehow, but write still write the app in Scala? Any help would be great. Thanks!
Scala is highly interoperable with Java (compiles to the same bytecode) so you should be able to use the Java API straight-up without any issues.
While some libraries add Scala-specific wrappers to make an API more idiomatic and pleasant for a functional programming style and to smooth some rough edges, it's often not strictly necessary.
If for some reason you didn't want to use the Java client libs, you could also interface with the Firebase REST API via Play 2's very convenience and succinct web services library.
Should be no problem with either their Java SDK (when using Firebase on the backend) or the JavaScript SDK (when using it on the client). But you won't have native support for Scala or Play, especially no support for Iteratee/Enumeratee in Play.
The Java API looks quite good and seems to be event driven. So it should be no problem to integrate it in Play in a scalable way.
Actually I know good Java high level API and ORM for Apache Cassandra - Hector.
But can't find any native good solution for Scala. Anybody know any actual project with good quality, activity and ORM support for SuperColumns?
Phantom is actively developed and very well designed Scala DSL built on top of Datastax client.
Take a look at Scalandra a wrapper for Cassandra's Thrift API.
Besides scalandra there is also cascal and scromium
I've been reading up about Akka and it really seems nice. Can you somehow set it up to work with Apache Mina or similar techs? I.e not only use it in conjunction with servlets.
Hmmm, seems you already have a technical solution (Mina).
May I ask what is the problem you're trying to solve?
RemoteActors are using Netty, it's basically only the JAX-RS (Jersey) and Comet (Atmosphere) integration that runs over servlets.
