Create a REST service using Play with Java for a User database

For a contact management sample application that I am building, I need a user REST service which I can use to validate users and use the UUID to search the contacts of this user (the contact database will be exposed by another REST service).
I decided to build this REST service using Play and implement that in Java.
This blog explains how I have build this REST service.
