Following steps closely on [using UI Framework in your module](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Using+the+UI+Framework+in+Your+Modulehttps://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Using+the+UI+Framework+in+Your+Module) , I configured things as required. Now I started following steps on [UI Framework Step By Step Tutorial](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/UI+Framework+Step+By+Step+Tutorial) . I created a simple basic module but with just on [demo](https://github.com/samuelmale/openmrs-module-uitestframework/blob/master/omod/src/main/webapp/pages/demo.gsg) page but when I try accessing it at [https://localhost:8080/openmrs/uitestframework/demo.page](https://localhost:8080/openmrs/uitestframework/demo.page) I get the following error [https://pastebin.com/Y1DYt7jD](https://pastebin.com/Y1DYt7jD)

Let someone help me out . cc @dkayiwa @darius @raff

The convention is that if you need to access demo.page, then you need a demo.gsp. I see that yours is demo.gsg

You will also need a DemoPageController.

That being said, going forward, we do not encourage using that ui framework for new development. Our recommended approach for doing user interfaces is found in the resources below: [https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Open+Web+Apps+Module](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Open+Web+Apps+Module)[https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Open+Web+App+Development+Workflow](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Open+Web+App+Development+Workflow)[https://wiki.openmrs.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=93359610](https://wiki.openmrs.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=93359610)

But why is the UI Framework discouraged for new dev. Is it considered obsolete?
