Question

I need to add a route for the following syntax:

http://www.testsite.com/select?term=query1

In my routes file, I tried using the following

GET    /select/{term}

However, the above does not catch the URL – instead it goes to another handler in the config (placed beneath the handler for select/{term}:

 GET     /{auth}

Any thoughts on fixing or troubleshooting this would be most welcome. thanks

Answer 1

?term= means that term is a parameter – not part of the route you are trying to match

so you’d write

GET       /select              YourControllerClass.yourMethod

….

YourControllerClass extends Controller { 

public static void yourMethod(String term){ 
     Logger.debug("term=" + term);
 }
}

If your URL was http://www.testsite.com/select/query1 then the route definition you provided above should work
