How to get the assets controller in Play to detect new images?

It seems that if you have play running in production mode, and any new images are added to the public/images directory, the Assets.at() method does not detect these new images until Play has been stopped and restarted from the console.

Is there any way to force the Assets controller to refresh/recompile the list of assets while in production mode? Or do I have to write my own controller for serving up images? (If so, is there one already written to do this that I can reuse?)

You will have to write your own action for your uploaded pictures.

The Assets controller is a controller that serves static resources which are bundled within your application.

You can find a very simple (and low tech) example of an action for retrieving a picture here (I think you'll get the idea).
