I’m building a webapp with jQuery, which is using many $.get(..) and $.post(..) action-calls

I’m building a webapp with jQuery, which is using many $.get(..) and $.post(..) action-calls to my Play Controllers.

Example:

$.get('@{Patients.activeEpisodes()}', function(data) {
      $('#secondary').append(data);
});

When I create a javascript function directly in my template file, the @{Controller.action()} tags are correctly replaced with the correct url.

But when i put the same function inside a seperate .js file which is imported in the template using the #{script ‘myJavaScriptFile.js’ /} tag, these @{xxx} tags are not repalced with the correct Url’s.

Is there a way to have these tags properly replaced by the templating enginge?
Thanks for your answer!

    No, the templating engine will only work with the Play Templates. External *.js files are ignored as they are considered to be Javascript files which require no processing.

    The only solution is to put that code in the template (or hardcode the path)
