How can I pass Order object to detailsAction and CompleteAction using JMS payementCoreBundle

Question

I need to make payment transaction for an application and I saw JSMPaymentCoreBundle.

I read the documentation of JSMPaymentCoreBundel but I wonder me how I can pass object to the controller detailsAction(Order $order) and completeAction(Order $order).

For example, in the detailAction controller, the redirect response looks like this :

return new RedirectResponse($this->router->generate('payment_complete', array('orderNumber' => $order->getOrderNumber(),)));

For me, we don"t pass the required Order object in param to the completeAction controller below but only orderNumer:

/**
* @Route("/{orderNumber}/complete", name = "payment_complete")
*/
public function completeAction(Order $order){
    ...
}

I think that if I don't pass an Order object, I'll get error. So what is the best way to do that and how ?

New in development and Symfony, I really want to understand and not simply make a copy/paste.

Any help would be appreciate.

You can use @ParamConverter annotation to conver an orderNumber to its entity

http://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/SensioFrameworkExtraBundle/annotations/converters.html

use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\ParamConverter;
...
    /**
    * @Route("/{orderNumber}/complete", name = "payment_complete")
    * @ParamConverter("order", options={"mapping": {"orderNumber": "orderNumber"}})
    */
    public function completeAction(Order $order){
        ...
    }

Update: read your question again and little bit confused. So do you have a problem (error) to get $order or do you just confused why you pass OrderNumber, but getting Order entity?

If so,just ignore my first example that do same as shown:

/**
     * @Route("/{orderNumber}/details", name = "payment_details")
     * @Template
     */
    public function detailsAction(Order $order)

It means that ParameterConverter will do a magic for your to convert passed orderNumber to an entity Order, that actually is "best practice" approach recommended by Symfony doc: http://symfony.com/doc/2.3/best_practices/controllers.html#using-the-paramconverter

And you do not need to add an additional annotation for such case
