Excluded file could not be found in production

[confile]

I tried to exclude pdf files from being processed with:

grails.assets.excludes = ["**/*.pdf"]

In my GSP I do:

<a href="${assetPath(src: 'someName.pdf', absolute:true)}" target="_blank">Download PDF</a> 

It works well in dev mode but in production the file could not be found.

You excluded the file so it would never be copied into your final war file.

How can I access an excluded file like in my case?

You cant you excluded it. Thats the entire point of exclude. Not sure why you are excluding a pdf file exactly considering its considered a GenericAsset. the effect of processing a file with a pdf extension is simply copying it into your war file , digest naming it and gzipping it. Nothing special

I want to exculde it because in production the name of the file changes from someName.pdf to someName-234823492349.pdf``. How can I keep the original name?

If you do not want to use digest names for expiring the answer is to simply place the pdf file in the web-app folder instead of assets folder.
