Rails routing breaks Java classpaths

#2475

Rails routes are interfering with the loading of my Java applet's dependencies.

The problem seems to be that Rails is changing the dots in my classpaths to forward slashes.

Here's an example dependency from the logs that's failing:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/com/objex/panywhere/Pedigree_RS_Bundle.class" with {:method=>:get}):

Here's my embed code that works perfectly outside of Rails:

   width="600"
   height="400">

  archive="/artemis.jar"
  code="artemis.ProgenyAnywhereWrapper.class"
  width="600"
  height="400"
  codebase=".">

No Java Support.

I guess this ticket system doesn't care for code samples much.

I can send the code to whoever wants to see it.

The archive does indeed exist. It is used for loading .jar files as applets.

Link that you've posted using tag, and you trying to use tag, which is different. This is not framework error. You should request jar file from server, and your HTML code is wrong - it asks .class file from server. Try to read the link , that I've provided, or ask on java applet forums.

Why has this been marked as invalid? Does that mean you don't want to fix it? Are you saying Rails won't ever work with Java applets? "As discussed" with who?

I assumed that Andriy's answer fixed your problem as you had not replied for an entire year. Has it not? If so, please provide a failing test case.
