What's the proper way to route a subnet through an OSPF area?

Question

To make the example as simple as possible. We have an OSPF area setup so that if one link fails or gets congested, traffic will reroute through the other. Is there a way to have traffic pass from one end of the OSPF area to it's destination without adding static routes on every router in-between?

I've tried the following but it doesn't seem to work:

policy-statement into-ospf {
    term connected {
        from protocol direct;
        then accept;
    }
    term static {
        from protocol static;
        then accept;
    }
}
export [ DEFAULT_ROUTE into-ospf ];
reference-bandwidth 10g;
area 0.0.0.0 {
    interface lo0.0;
    interface ge-0/0/1.0 {
        metric 20;
    }
    interface ge-0/0/2.0 {
        metric 80;
    }
}

In the meantime, I'm just redefining every route on every router inside the OSPF area:

static {
    route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop x.x.0.53;
    route x.x.0.80/28 next-hop [ x.x.0.62 x.x.0.58 ];
    route x.x.0.72/29 next-hop [ x.x.0.62 x.x.0.58 ];
    route x.x.0.64/29 next-hop [ x.x.0.62 x.x.0.58 ];
    route x.x.0.160/30 next-hop [ x.x.0.62 x.x.0.58 ];
    route x.x.0.164/30 next-hop [ x.x.0.62 x.x.0.58 ];
    route x.x.1.128/28 next-hop [ x.x.0.62 x.x.0.58 ];
}

Are they all using OSPF? There shouldn't be any need to configure static routes since you need to advertise routes using OSPF and all routers within an area and every routers knows every routes.

If your primary router is using other than OSPF then that route will need to be redistributed to the ospf router. In this case, I believe you configure only one area which is area 0.
