Rails - Jan 2008 - beginner question: getting a routing error, but method is defined!

Hi,

I''m just starting in Ruby on Rails.  I have these files:

/webroot/formprocessor/app/views/formprocessor/showform.rhtml
/webroot/formprocessor/app/views/formprocessor/show_formdata.rhtml
/webroot/formprocessor/app/controllers/formprocessor_controller.rb

Here are the contents of teh formprocessor_controller.rb:

class FormprocessorController < ApplicationController
    def showform
    end

    def show_formdata
        @name = params[:name]
        @prog_languages = params[:prog_languages] || []
        @operating_systems = params[:operating_systems] || []
    end
end

But after starting my server (ruby /webroot/formprocessor/script/
server), and visiting http://mydomain:3000/formprocessor/showform, I
get this error:

Routing Error
no route found to match "/formprocessor/showform" with
{:method=>:get}

But the showform method and views are defined, at least in my mind
anyway.  What am I missing?

Thanks, - Dave

Does your routes file specify the default route?

  map.connect '':controller/:action/:id''
