Routing Cherrypy web apps

I have spent more than 4 days trying to figure out this, but my every attempt failed, so I thought I could really use some of your helps.

In the code below, Storm is an app with function submit_data() which fetches data from databases according to pagename parameter passed at instantiation and idx parameter passed from xmlhttp GET request in Javascript.

Basically I want to have an index page with Root class, and a bunch of similar Storm pages with different pagename parameters read from an XML file.

I am using RoutesDispatcher because I am parametrizing page name(address) using the XML file too.

When I used /storm as the address it didn't even work probably because the name clashes, so I set the address as /st/.

Now it displays the header, but it does not find submit_data function at all. The Chrome console throws the following error.

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:8080/st/submit_data?idx=0
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:8080/st/submit_data?idx=2
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:8080/st/submit_data?idx=1

How can I structure this so that when I type localhost:8080/st on my browser, the html/javascript template storm.html looks up submit_data function and call it and display it on the webpage? Before I started routing, it worked totally fine.

class Storm(object):
    pagename = ""
    def __init__(self, pagename):
        self.pagename = pagename

    @cherrypy.expose
    @cherrypy.tools.mako(filename="storm.html", directories=MEDIA_DIR)
    def index(self, name=None):
        return {'size': len(params["dashboards"][self.pagename])}

    @cherrypy.expose 
    def submit_data(self, idx):
        idx = int(idx)
        chart = params["dashboards"][self.pagename][idx]
        # Sample page that displays the number of records in "table" 
        # Open a cursor, using the DB connection for the current thread 
        c = cherrypy.thread_data.dbdict[chart["dbname"]].cursor() 
        print 'query being executed......'
        c.execute(chart["command"])
        print 'query being fetched......'
        res = c.fetchall()
        c.close()

        # construct a JSON object from query result
        jsres = []
        jsres.append(chart["selected"])
                       .
                       .
                       .

        return json.dumps(jsres)

class Root(object):
    #storm = Storm("first")
    @cherrypy.expose
    @cherrypy.tools.mako(filename="index.html", directories=MEDIA_DIR)
    def index(self, name=None):
        return {}

config = {'/media':
                {'tools.staticdir.on': True,
                 'tools.staticdir.dir': MEDIA_DIR,
                }
        }

root = Root()
storm = Storm("first") 
mapper = cherrypy.dispatch.RoutesDispatcher()
mapper.connect('home','/',controller=root, action='index')
mapper.connect('st','/st/',controller=storm, action='index')
conf = {'/': {'request.dispatch': mapper}}
app=cherrypy.tree.mount(root=None,config=conf)
cherrypy.quickstart(app)
