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

IIRC, change

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="@routes.Assets.at("stylesheets/main.css")">

To

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="@routes.Assets.at("stylesheets/", "main.css")">

I am talking about your third attempt

Also, watch out for extra /

EDIT

GET /assets/main.css    controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file="/stylesheets/main.css")

Assuming your resource is at /public/stylesheets/main.css

Answer 2

I am not totally sure if this is correct, but this is what we are using to map a public folder containing our images, javascripts... etc..

# Map static resources from the /public folder to the /assets URL path
GET     /assets/*file               controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)

Answer 3

This ability still haven't been added, as I know. But if someone needs answer, as an option, helper controller can be created for these purpose:

object StaticFile extends Controller {

  def html(file: String) = Action {
    var f = new File(file)

    if (f.exists())
      Ok(scala.io.Source.fromFile(f.getCanonicalPath()).mkString).as("text/html");
    else
      NotFound
  }

}

and then in routes config

GET     /               controllers.StaticFile.html(file = "public/index.html")
