Question

The external route hits this method in a controller:

public static void externalRouteHit() {
  Map<String, String> myParams = request.params.allSimple();
  redirectedRoute(myParams);
}

Then, I try and pass the Map to another method in same controller, but it is null.

public static void redirectedRoute(Map<String, String> myParams) {
  if (myParams == null)
    Logger.info("WTF");

}

I can pass a string or boolean fine. What am I doing wrong?

If you want to call another public static void method from one of your controllers without play creating a redirect, you’ll have to annotate the method with @Util

Example:

public class MyController extends Controller {


  public static void index(){
    Map xyz = ....;

    helperMethod(xyz);

  } 

  @Util
  public static void helperMethod(Map map){
    /// do stuff
  } 

}
