Check dynamically if a route path exists in play2 framework

      Ok("It exists !")
    } else {
      NotFound("Route not found")
    }
  }
 
  def guessIt = Action {
    Ok("test")
  }
 
}

shouldn't
/test?route=/guessIt
yield
"Route not found" ?
After all, its mapped to guessThat
GET /guessThat controllers.Application.guessIt
