Question

I’m using playframework v2 and I have my sitemap files being re-created once a day by an external process. They’re all in the assets folder/sitemap

How do I force playframework to return the file directly from disk?

Answer 1

You should get the file (from disk or WS) and render the content in a classic Action, then set the cache with an annotation :

@Cached(key="sitemap", duration=86400)
public static Result index() {
  // ... set sitemap variable from your file
  return ok(siteMap);
}

http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0/JavaCache

Or you can achieve the same behavior with a job.
