For example, by adding my plugin (I call it Dancer::Plugin::Meta), my applications automatically get a route called http://server/app/meta/author which returns the author information set in the config file.

solved the above problem. Now, I am able to get *all* the resources when I go to `http://server/basemap/meta/resource` but I reach the void when I go to `http://server/basemap/app1/meta/resource`. Ideally, I would like to go to a particular sub app and have the meta routes available at the sub apps.
