[Catalyst] How Catalyst views files without extensions

[Emily Heureux]

I am calling the applet from within test.tt2, and loading the file also from
within test.tt2.  I did some further reading, and it seems that what I need
to do is designate a directory as static that contains the files (with no
extensions).  I found this code:

 

MyApp->config->{static}->{dirs} = [
        'static',
        qr/^(images|css)/,
    ];

 

from cpan.  If it is the correct code for what I want to do, where would I
put it, and since I want no file extensions, what do I put instead of 'css'?

Does Catalyst be default view files without extensions as something other
than just files, like methods?  I am having trouble getting an applet to run
that takes a filename as one of the parameters, and it works as long as the 
file has an extension.  The app also works in a non-Catalyst application we
have from before we switched.  At this point, I am just trying to figure out
if it is a Catalyst issue, or jmol (the java applet) issue. 

Thanks for any help,
Emily

 

I'm not sure where a 3rd party app is coming in concerning Catalyst.  You
really should be serving static files from the webserver itself, not using
::Plugin::Static::Simple. 

How are you loading the applet?  Using TT to generate a page with embedded
code that references some path?
