how to read a list of objects from the configuration file in play framework

Since I had recently the same problem and this is still unanswered, here is my suggestion:

List<User> users = getConfig().getConfigList("users").stream().map(
            config -> new User(config.getString("uid"), config.getBoolean("pwd"))
    ).collect(Collectors.toList());

As far as I know there are no tuples or anything in Java, you need to use either an object or a list with two elements. I decided to go for an object here, you can also return a list.
