Yii, invalid request on action's controller from a module

Question

This is the first time i am building a module in Yii , this module is about an API where i can gather data from other servers and apps, i have created the module via GII and added the module into the config file, everything works fine for now.. I created a new controller inside this API module with action index as usual, still everything goes fine, but when i add another action to this controller and try to access it on the browser, i get the "Your request is invalid" message, i have tried with changing the name of the controller because i have another controller with the same name but outside the module, also tried changing the action name, but still no clue.

Controller:

<?php 
Class ItemsController extends Controller
{
    public function actionIndex()
    {
        $items = Items::model()->findAll();

        header('Content-Type: application/json');

        foreach($items as $item)
            echo json_encode($item->attributes);
    }

    public function loadModel($id)
    {
        $model = Items::model()->findByPk($id);

        if($model)
            return $model;
    }

    public function actionData($id)
    {
        $item = $this->loadModel($id);

        if($item)
        {
            header('Content-Type: application/json');

            echo json_encode($item);
        }

        else
        {
            throw new Exception("Data could not be found", 404);

        }
    }
}
?>

What is the problem on this script?

EDIT: the url is 127.0.0.1/APP/api/item/dat/2

It seems you are using urlManager which by default has no rule for modules. In your main.php config file, add the following line into your rules :

'<module:\w+>/<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<module>/<controller>/<action>',

And if you want to give ID add the following line too:

'<module:\w+>/<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<module>/<controller>/<action>',

In order to write your own customized rules (and also be more familiar), you may find Yii's official document about URL Management useful.
