Route to static file in Play! 2.0

Question

I\'m trying to make a route to a specific static file but everything I\'m trying ends with an error.

I\'ve made 3 different attempts:

1.

GET /fil         


        

Answer 1

The solution to this that is cleanest is to create your own AssetsBuilder that will build your static page.

Create this file in your controllers package - Static.scala

package controllers

object Static extends AssetsBuilder

Then in your routes you can define your static endpoint

GET /file   controllers.Static.at(path="/public/html", "file.html")

Done. Now the file at /public/html/file.html will be served off of localhost:9000/file

If you replace the hard code above with a more generic:

GET /*file   controllers.Static.at(path="/public/html", *file + ".html")

then /foo will serve /public/html/foo.html, /bar will serve /public/html/bar.html etc.
