Yea, those docs are missing some important details. One think you do need to know is that the TGController/ObjectDispatchController expects to be routed to for object dispatch, not for a final page.
So you want to use DecoratedController when defining your own custom routes. All of this should go on the RoutesIntegration page. --Mark On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 6:23 AM, Carl <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > I'm trying to do custom routes with TG2 and failing so far.
