Path of a Main controller which is part of a module

[John]

Hi all

Is it always true that the path of a MyModule::MainController will by default have to be '/mymodule/' as opposed to '/' and that its views will need to be under 'view/mymodule' ?

Was it always that way? I am asking, because I'm porting some legacy code and I can't see if/when this changed since 2009.

For example:

module Trial

  class MainController < Controller

  ...

end

will have its views under view/trial and  MainController.r() will be '/trial' 

If you want the Trial::MainController to be accessible at the root ('/'), Is the best way to change it using map '/' inside the MainController  (like you'd do with controllers, which are not part of a module)?

cheers
