# Feature: #69855 - Dispatcher for Backend Routing added {#feature-69855}

See [forge#69855](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/69855)

## Description {#description}

The previously introduced Backend Routing is updated so that Routes must be
defined with a class name and method name, or a Closure / callable. The
controller/action or closure is now named as "target".

Example from `EXT:backend/Configuration/Backend/Routes.php`

```php
// Logout script for the TYPO3 Backend
'logout' => [
	'path' => '/logout',
	'target' => Controller\LogoutController::class . '::logoutAction'
]
```

## Impact {#impact}

Each method that is registered will receive both the Request object and the
Response object which can be manipulated for output.

The fixed `ControllerInterface` is not needed anymore and will be removed.
