Grails giving 404 for mapped Url

Question

I have a grails 2.3.8 app.

It has a view: views/rte/subscriptions.gsp

I have a controller: controllers/RTEController.groovy

RTEController contains an action:

def subscriptions() { 

}

UrlMappings.groovy contains:

    "/rte" (controller: "rte") {
        action = [GET: "subscriptions"]
    }

When I browse to:

http://localhost:8080/MYAPP/rte 

I get a 404 error.

Why is the url mapping not working?

Answer 1

Since CamelCase format is not used for controller name. The mapping has to match with the exact name of the controller. Modify the url mapping as below:

"/rte" (controller: "RTE") { //controller name all CAPS
    action = [GET: "subscriptions"]
}

Also note, this is applicable during dependency injection as well. For example, if there is a service named RTEService, then it can only be injected in other classes as

def RTEService //instead of def rteService or def rTEService
