java - Controller method call expected when compiling a Play Framework application -

i getting error message when compiling application.

my routes file looks below:

# routes # file defines application routes (higher priority routes first)   # home page     /                                       application.index     /listing/create                         application.createauctionitem post    /listing/create                         application.docreateitem     /listing/show                           application.show     /search                                 application.search      /rss/recent                             application.recentlyadded(format:'rss')     /recent                                 application.recentlyadded      /signup                                 authenticate.register post    /signup                                 authenticate.doregister  # map static resources /app/public folder /public path     /public/                                staticdir:public  # catch *       /{controller}/{action}                  {controller}.{action} 

my application (java) looks below:

package controllers;  import play.mvc.*; import models.*; import java.util.list; import play.data.validation.*; import static play.modules.pdf.pdf.*;  public class application extends controller {     public static void recentlyadded() {       list<auctionitem> recentlyadded = auctionitem.recentlyadded(50);       render(recentlyadded);    }      public static void showpdf(long id) {       auctionitem item = auctionitem.findbyid(id);       item.viewcount++;       item.save();       renderpdf(item);    }     public static void showimage(long id) {       auctionitem item = auctionitem.findbyid(id);       renderbinary(item.photo.get());    }     public static void search(string search, integer page) {        validation.required(search).message("you must enter search for");       if (validation.haserrors()) {          render();       }        if (page == null) page = 1;       searchresults results = auctionitem.search(search, page);       render(results, page, search);    }     public static void show(long id) {       auctionitem item = auctionitem.findbyid(id);       item.viewcount++;       item.save();       render(item);    }     public static void docreateitem(@valid auctionitem item) {       // if there errors, redisplay auction form       if (validation.haserrors()) {          params.flash();          validation.keep();          createauctionitem();       }        // set user based on logged in user       item.createdby = authenticate.getloggedinuser();        // if no errors, save auction item , redirect show page       item.save();       show(item.id);    }     public static void createauctionitem() {       if (session.get("user") == null) {          authenticate.login();       }       render();    }     public static void index() {       list<auctionitem> mostpopular = auctionitem.getmostpopular(5);       list<auctionitem> endingsoon = auctionitem.getendingsoon(5);       render(mostpopular, endingsoon);    } } 

i getting following error when compile code:

[error] d:\paly sampleapps\chapter4\conf\routes:6: compilation  error[controller method call expected] [error]     /listing/create                         application.createauctio nitem 

what doing wrong?

your createauctionitem method must return result not void
