Rails - Mar 2006 - before_filter question

Let''s say I''m using before_filter in my controller:

  before_filter :setup

  def setup
    # do something here
  end

Is there any way my setup method can know which action is really about  
to be called?  Let''s say I want to log out which action is going to be
called, how can I  know that in the before_filter method? (My question  
is not really about logging, that''s just an example).

Thanks!
Jeff

logger.debug("ACTION=" + action_name)


You can find the docs for this here: http://api.rubyonrails.org/

Click on "ActionController::Base".  Scroll down to Attributes.

No need to apologize.  I was just pointing out the docs, because
there''s a lot of other useful attributes in there too.
