You need to extend Symfony's Controller class to be able to use getDoctrine() method.

So:

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

class CustomerController extends Controller
{

    public function indexAction($id)
    {
            $customer = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('GSOrderBundle:Customer')->find($id);
               return new Response(
            '<html><body>Number: '.$id.'</body></html>'
        );
    }
}

(you can also define controller as a service but this is more complex solution)

I am trying to create small application to read the record from the table by id using symfony/doctrine. My steps:
1. Created controller (GS\OrderBunndle\Controller\CustomerCuntroller.php), route. Testing URL - it is working;
2. Creating Entity for customer table (GS\OrderBundle\Entity\Customer.php) with columns and getters/setters;
3) Created GS\OrderBundle\Entity\CustomerRepository.php (I am not sure why do I need it yet, it was automatically generated). Source code:
```
namespace GS\OrderBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;

class CustomerRepository extends EntityRepository
{
}
```
4) Modified CustomerController.php:
```
<?php

namespace GS\OrderBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use GS\OrderBundle\Entity\Customer;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager; 

class CustomerController 
{

    public function indexAction($id)
    {
            $customer = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('GSOrderBundle:Customer')->find($id);
               return new Response(
            '<html><body>Number: '.$id.'</body></html>'
        );
    }
}
```
And getting following error:

Attempted to call method "getDoctrine" on class "GS\OrderBundle\Controller\CustomerController".

500 Internal Server Error - UndefinedMethodException
