Generate Admin area ( CRUD ) on Play Framework

Question

I'm following the Official tutorial for creating a administration area. I did the first step correctly but when i extend my controller class to CRUD i got an error (Crud not found on the project) + Access denied when I access to http://localhost:9000/admin/. This is what I did:

1. Enable the CRUD module for the application In the /conf/application.conf file, enable the CRUD module by adding this line:

   module.crud=${play.path}/modules/crud

   Import default CRUD routes

2. In the conf/routes file, import the default module routes by adding this line:

   * /admin module:crud

3. Create the Users controller

   package controllers;
   
   public class Users extends CRUD {
   
   }
   

4. Restarted play & eclipse

Any suggestion to get the admin area work please ?

Answer 1

Try running this command again

play eclipsify myApp 

Answer 2

Thanks for the tip, play eclipsify made the trick but before, i had to resolve dependencies as they are now in the dependencies.yml file:

# Application dependencies

require:
    - play
    - play -> crud

Just launch "play dependencies myApp" and then eclipsify. Reload your project in Eclipse and it works.

Tested in latest (1.2.3)

Answer 3

This could be caused by several issues. Let me outline steps to validate your setup:

1. Controller name must be plural (controllers/Users.java)
2. Make sure you have model (models/User.java)
3. Controller must extend CRUD
4. run play dependencies
5. run play eclipsify and re-import project (just in case)
6. Annotate model with @Entity
7. Routes for /admin must be before /{controller.action} ...
8. application.conf must contain following line:

   module.crud=${play.path}/modules/crud</li>
   

Comments:

• Used Play framework version 1.2.3 does not require to have crud in dependencies.yml
