Different routes for prod and dev in play 2.0

Question

My Play 2.0 application runs under different directories during development and in production:

During dev we use /, in production it runs as /crm/.

Is it possible to define a "root directory" of some sort for play?

This article suggests using the isDev() sort of methods and this one to use a config variable, but it seems like the routes file no longer allows code inclusion: adding %{ }—style tags to the routes file results in compilation errors.

In 2.0 or 2.0.1 you can't do it.

If you use the trunk-version you can define a property:

application.context="/AwesomePlayApplication"

This property can be set by in the usual way at production. But this is only possible with the future version.

Unfortunately we're still on the 2.1 release, so this doesn't help me – Fabian Streitel May 25 '12 at 09:24
Then I fear you have a problem. Perhaps you can hosted the app under `crm.myCompany.com` instead of `www.myCompany.com/crm` – niels May 25 '12 at 18:04

As there seems to be no other solution, I decided to go with a shell script that modifies the routes file on deployment and adds the necessary prefix to every route.
