JavaLite ActiveWeb rootPackage

Question

I'm developing a web application with ActiveWeb. I wanted to change the package from app.controller to be.coudron.graphplanner.controller

I created a file activewebproperties and placed it in src/main/resources

the contents of the file are:

freeMarkerConfig=be.coudron.graphplanner.config.FreeMarkerConfig

bootstrap=be.coudron.graphplanner.config.AppBootstrap

dbconfig=be.coudron.graphplanner.config.DbConfig

route_config=be.coudron.graphplanner.config.RouteConfig

controllerConfig=be.coudron.graphplanner.config.AppControllerConfig

rootPackage=be.coudron.graphplanner

When I start the app with mvn jetty:run

I get the error:

org.javalite.activeweb.ControllerException: controller must be 

in the 'app.controllers' package

What am i doing wrong?

There are no typos in the code nor the package names.

Answer 1

the exception message is self-explanatory: "controller must be in the 'app.controllers' package"

The file activeweb.properties is part of the framework and not editable. With time, you will appreciate simplicity and consistency of the framework. It requires that controllers are placed into app.controllers package. Please, refer to http://javalite.io/structure_of_activeweb_project#location-of-controllers
