    copied!<p>I am trying to implement a filter functionality that will display businesses by their type. This is the "search form" where the user can select what type of business they want to display </p> <pre><code>@(businessList: List[Business], formSearch: Form[Business]) @import helper._ @main("All businesses"){ @form(action=routes.Application.displayAllBusinesses("")){ @select(formSearch("type"),options(Seq("Dining","Accomodation","Manufacturing","Retail", "Services")),'_label -&gt;"Business Type",'_default-&gt;"--Select a business type--") &lt;input type="submit" class="btn btn-success" value="Search by type"&gt; &lt;a class="btn" href="@routes.Application.displayAllBusinesses()"&gt;Show all businesses&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="btn" href="/registerBusiness"&gt;Register a business&lt;/a&gt; } </code></pre> <p>Then I have a for loop to display all the businesses:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt; @for(business &lt;- businessList) { &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;Business Name: @business.getName()&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Business Type: @business.getType()&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Business Email: @business.getEmail()&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Business Location: @business.getLocation()&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Business Description: @business.getDescription()&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Id is: @business.id &lt;/p&gt; &lt;a class="btn" href="@routes.Application.displayUpdateBusiness(business.id)"&gt;Update&lt;/a&gt; @form(routes.Application.deleteBusiness(business.id)) { &lt;input class="btn" type="submit" value="Delete"&gt; } &lt;/li&gt; } &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>When the user submits their form the displayAllbusinesses route looks like (This is where the error comes up):</p> <pre><code>GET /listBusinesses controllers.Application.displayAllBusinesses(type: String ?= "all") </code></pre> <p>The displayAllbusinesses method in app/Application.java is:</p> <pre><code>public static Result displayAllBusinesses(String type){ List&lt;Business&gt; businesses; if(type=="all"){ businesses = allBusinesses; } else { businesses = Business.find.where().like("type", type).findList(); //TRACE System.out.println(businesses); } return ok(listBusinesses.render(businesses, businessForm)); } </code></pre> <p>When I run this code I get a "illegal start of simple expression" for the /listBusinesses route. What does this mean?</p>
