Playframework: routes entry to an external URL

Question

I want the following redirection functionality

GET /google    google.com

How should I implement this?

Answer 1

It does not seem it is possible to do that straight from the routes files at this moment.

You could implement this in a controller:

public class Application extends Controller {

 public static void google() {
    redirect("http://www.google.com");
 }
}
