where to place the public directory for play frame

问题:

I am using the 'dist' command with play framework v2.5. However, when I unzip the file, it does not create the public directory. I have the following directories: bin, conf, lib, logs and share (contains doc).

Where should I place the public directory whereby this would work exactly like it does with the play framework (not having run the dist command) i.e. I can place static assets in the public directory and have them served from there (I do not wish to use a CDN for this purpose as of now).

I would ideally like the dist command to take care of it (as opposed to manually creating directories). Will the static route serve images from the public directory or do I need to write my own controller to serve these static assets?

As explained in this answer, add these lines into your /build.sbt file.

import com.typesafe.sbt.packager.MappingsHelper._
    mappings in Universal ++= directory(baseDirectory.value / "public")

That would include your 'public' directory inside the dist file (You can include any directory like that way). Then your application would work in the production environment.
