Routes in Play Framework

Question

Updating the routes file in the conf directory of my Play application does not seem to be reflecting.

# This file defines all application routes (Higher priority routes first)
# ~~~~

# Home page
GET     /                           controllers.Application.index()
GET     /channel                    controllers.Application.createMember()


# Map static resources from the /public folder to the /assets URL path
GET     /assets/*file               controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)

When I make a request to my server at localhost:9000/channel it says action not found. My play application currently resides inside Eclipse work space.

I'm just guessing that you added the route and was trying to call in the production mode which does not use hot reload feature.

Restart your application and check again.

Use play run command instead of play start to stay in the development mode (which reflects code changes without redeployment). It will recompile changed classes after next browser request.

If you'll use play ~run it will recompile changed classes right after saving them (even before next request).
