Play framework Missing Controller

Question

I'm having a problem where the play framework just reports a "Missing Controller" even after I have created it.

[error] {file:/my/path/to/project/root/}Project Name/compile:sources: PlayException: Compilation error [Missing Controller] [error] Total time: 0 s, completed 26-Mar-2012 13:12:22

(I have removed the project name and file path)

Here is the relevant code

package controllers;

import play.mvc.Controller;
import play.mvc.Result;

public class cron extends Controller {

    private static Logger logger = java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger("uk.itvet.portal.CDR.CronJob");

    public static Result run() {
        return ok("Working");
    }
}

I have created a line in the routes config for the page

GET     /cron                       controllers.cron.run()

Any ideas?

Answer 1

for Play framework 1.0

1. rename the class "cron" to "Cron"
2. in run() method change return type to "void"
3. in router file replace line by:

GET /cron Cron.run()
