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

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")
