Routes and subpackages in controllers

Question

I\'m using Play 2.1 and I\'m having some odd problems.

I have a subpackage messages in the controllers package with a class i18n.java

Answer 1

FYI, in 2.2 it's slightly different.

routes.conf looks like:

GET  /admin/stuff  controllers.admin.StuffController.show()

in code looks like:

controllers.admin.routes.StuffController.show()

Answer 2

The route should be controllers.messages.routes.i18n.process(). You can inspect the target/scala-2.10/src_managed directory to discover generated files.

And for information, Java coding conventions say that a class must start with an uppercase.

Answer 3

For Play 2.4.6 Java users:

Let's say your controller (Application) and action (logout) is com.stackoverflow.play.Application.logout().

To use it in your template (*.scala.html), you do @com.stackoverflow.play.routes.Application.logout (e.g., <a href="@com.stackoverflow.play.routes.Application.logout()">, <form action="@com.stackoverflow.play.routes.Application.logout()" method="post">).
