Rails - Feb 2006 - Best way to know the domain across all controllers?

Hello,
  I would like to use something like
  domain=request.domain 
  and be able to access the domain variable across all my controllers.
  
  What is the best way to do so? In which file can I put the above  variable
declaration and still be able to access it application wide?
  
  I guess I am asking on assistance for using global variables in rails.
  
  Can anyone please guide me to a source or help me figure this out.
  
  Thanks
  Frank

application.rb

def set_domain
   @domain=request.domain
end

In your controllers...

before_filter :set_domain

All that gets you, though, is the ability to replace:

   request.domain

with

   @domain

Not worth it, if you ask me.

Hi Tom,
  Thank you for your reply.
  I was interested in understanding  the concept so your reply did help.
  
  Thanks
