I had posted earlier about ''silent failure of a controller'', what seemed to be an intractable problem where I was getting failure of a particular action in a controller while others worked. What was irritating was that there were no useful messages. Nothing to the browser, nothing in logs, and even the breakpoints wouldn''t hit. Finally by a process of elemination I found

Hello, What am I doing wrong?
