Why am I not able to override CRUD template when using @CRUD.For?

I'm reading the play tutorial and to spice things up a little bit I decided to use @CRUD.For instead of using the default model na开发者_开发百科me pluralized. The problem is that I'm trying to override the template of that model and, using @CRUD.For, it just doesn't seem to work. However, when I use the default name it just works...

I have:

1) Model in

app/models/Comment

2) Admin class extending CRUD annotated with @CRUD.For(Comment.class)

app/controllers/admin/AdminComments

3) I have the file

app/views/AdminComments/list

4) I'm using the command:

play crud:ov --template AdminComments/list

Then I check the admin area and nothing... As I said, when I use the default name Comments it works.

Thanks in advance.

From reading the information on CRUD.For on the play documentation, I can't see that you are doing anything wrong. I assume that when you say you have the file app/views/AdminComments/list you actually mean app/views/AdminComments/list.html, if not then that is likely to be your problem.

Also, you have stated that you use play crud:ov --template, leaving this last in your list. This command creates a new file in your views area, based on the template, so that you may override it to work the way you wish. I would suggest going through it in the right order, which is

1. Create your model class
2. Create your CRUD class, with the CRUD.For annotation. Making sure you import models.Comment
3. run play command play crud:ov --template AdminComments/list
4. Edit the generated template, in app/views/AdminComments/list.html
5. Make sure AdminComments.java is inside app/controllers and that your list.thml is in app/views/AdminComments

Your AdminComments class is inside a sub-package admin (controllers.admin) and not directly inside the controllers package. So you will have to create a folder named admin inside your views directory and move the generated file app/views/AdminComments/list.html into this directory. Now the file path will be app/views/admin/AdminComments/list.html.

This worked for me. However the crud:ov command should handle this by itself.
