Using grails 3.0.9, I've defined 2 Domains:
Game -> hasMany plays
Play -> belongsTo game
I've added the following to my UrlMappings.groovy file.
"/games"(resources: "game") {
"/plays"(resources: "play")
}
Using Postman, I'm doing a get on http://localhost:8080/games and I get a 404.
If I remove the UrlMappings and place an @Resource(uri='/games') on the Game domain, it returns a 200, as expected. Here is what I get when I run url-mappings-report:
Dynamic Mappings

Not sure why the UrlMappings are not working.
My understanding is the UrlMappings syntax "/games"(resources: "game") automatically generates the associated RESTful mappings (and only the mappings), while the use of the @Resource(uri='/games') syntax generates the controller/actions.
With the "/games"(resources: "game"), you still need to define your own controller. The way you've written this question, I get the feeling that you haven't done this.
