Question

I’m able to create html links the following way:

<a href="/about">About Us</a>

This will follow the routing for /about. But on the following pages (I know it’s for an earlier version of Play, but I couldn’t find any info for 2.0.1):

http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.1/tags

playframework how to call method from html in href that takes one parameter?

The link is obtained from the routing file. I have the routing for the above link defined as:

GET /about controllers.Application.about()

In PlayFramework2, how can I programmatically get the routing to happen by passing in the controller and function name?

Use this in the template:

<a href="@routes.Controller.method("param-value")">Link</a>

in your case:

<a href="@routes.Application.about()">Link</a>

also you can use router in the controller with similar syntax:

public static Result redirectSomwhere(){
    return redirect(routes.Application.about());
}
