Play Framewok 1.X - Error Deploying to Tomcat - Can't Find Routes/Controllers

Question

OK - new to Play! Framework. My project runs fine on the build-in Play server. I'm trying to deploy the same project to a server running Tomcat 7 and I'm getting the following error in my catalina.out log:

@6fn1ak9n6

Action not found
Action Application.index could not be found. Error raised is Controller controllers.Application not found

Why do the routes work fine in the Play Server but not in Tomcat? Do i need to declare the conf/routes file in the web.xml file?

Why are you writing a `web.xml` at all? You should package your application by [running `play war`](http://www.playframework.com/documentation/1.2.7/deployment#appservers) and that's it. — Carsten, Oct 01 '13 at 10:34
Yup - exactly what i'm doing. That's just the default web.xml that running play war creates. Thought it would be helpful in my question. — SBerg413, Oct 01 '13 at 10:44
Are you maybe trying to deploy the application as ROOT? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6198110/play-framework-tomcat — Carsten, Oct 01 '13 at 11:03
