I have developed a Spring/JPA application: the service, repository and domain layers are nearing completion.
The only layer that is missing is the web layer. I am considering using Playframework 2.0 for the web layer but I am not sure whether I can inject/use spring beans in my Playframework 2.0 classes.
Is this possible? If so how?
You can. Updated for Play 2.5.x:

Alex.p is right there is support for spring in PlayFramework
Have a look here :

and on example here :

Cheers
I just tested it on my project it works but on playframework 2.1 in 2.0 it didn't work.
Here is a another way of injecting beans using Spring. Standard annotations are used. No plugin is required.

See http://spring-webservice-2-step-by-step.blogspot.in/2013/12/spring-framework-integration-with-play.html
This is an example of spring play integration
There's already support for the Spring IoC container in Play. It's just a matter of editing the application.conf file as mentioned in the linked to article.
Ignore the above see comment: it seems that this was dropped in playframework 2.0.
