Rails - Jul 2005 - Inheriting from ApplicationController

Rather than inherit from "ApplicationController", I want my
controllers to
inherit from "myApplicationController" (which will inherit from
ApplicationController).

Where do I put the class definition for myApplicationController and what do I
have to do to make it visibible to my controller classes?

(I am new to Ruby/Rails so if there is a better approach to getting common
behavior into my controllers, I am receptive to alternatives.)

I think I took this from Typo, so you might want to download its  
source code and take a peek (it is an excellent resource from a n00b).

Define your base controller to extend from the default rails  
application controller:

     class Store::BaseController < ApplicationController

Then your classes you want to extend this use this:

     class Store::HomeController < Store::BaseController

In my example, I have all my store pages in a subdirectory called  
''store''.  This allows me to separate the store front from
admin
functions; again, see the typo source for details.
