Linking and querying MySql with Play-1.2.5

Linking and querying MySql with Play-1.2.5

I am using MySql and Play-1.2.5, I have linked the two using the following
lines in application.conf,
# If you need a full JDBC configuration use the following :
db.default.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
db.default.user="root"
db.default.password="pass"
db.default.url="mysql://localhost:3306/sample"
AFAIK, correct me if I am wrong, Play-1.2.5 does not provide any
documentation for linking and querying database.
Now,
How do I setup Model class in play framework to access the database tables
and its fields?
Is there a query interface(eg: MorphiaQuery for MongoDB) to perform CRUD
operations on mysql database or using the actual mysql query is the only
option?
Thanks in advance..
