Rails core - Nov 2006 - application controller methods and routes (RC1)

Posting here as it applies to RC1, apologies if it should be in the
main rails list.

I''m trying RC1 out and have found that I can''t call any
methods from
my application controller now.

For example, I have a method called main_login in
ApplicationController and when I attempt to access via url as
application/main_login, I get the follow error...

no route found to match "/application/main_login" with
{:method=>:get}

I''ve found that all my application controller methods produce the same
result.  Has something been deprecated that I''m unaware of or am I
missing something obvious (based on the info here) and just doing
something stupid?

Do I have to "upgrade" my routes.rb file or something?

Thanks,
Andrew

I don''t believe it was ever the intention to route to actions on the
application controller (which are also available on all other
controllers).   ApplicationController was only really intended for
before_filters, utility methods and the like.

It seems the new routing code enforces that.

Though really the ApplicationController is just any old  
ActionController that your others inherit from by default. I don''t  
believe your controllers need to inherit from ApplicationController,  
so standing by itself it should be ok to route to it.

In saying that, though, if you''re doing this on a standard Rails app  
then you''re probably doing something wrong.

Ok, I can live with that, but this might be something that should be
made a little, ok, a lot more obvious in the upgrade path notes... on
the weblog, etc.

Since I''ve never seen/read anything that discourages calling methods
on the ApplicationController, I''m sure I''m not the first to
have done
it.

Yeah, this is definitely worth mentioning in the upgrade guide.
