Rails - Jan 2006 - render_component and private access...

I was wondering if rails had any means of restricting access to an 
action in a controller (like they can''t type in url.com/cont/action, 
that would throw an error).  The thing is I would like to be able to 
access this method/action through a call to render_component, so 
therefore, I don''t think private methods will work.

So basically I am looking for something that cannot be directly accessed 
by the browser, but can be accessed through render_component.

Thank you for all of your help.

Maybe you can re-route it?

map.connect ''/cont/action'', :controller =>
''cont'', :action => ''other_action''
