Rails - Jan 2006 - Calling Controller without redirecting

This is a bit of a weird question, but what if i wanted to pick a controller
from a controller without redirecting? Let me explain:

user goes to localhost/foobar/choose

foobar/choose picks one of the three

phobar/index
bar/index
foo/index

but instead of redirecting, it simply executres one of the controllers and
forwards the result. Strange? yes. Useful? very. Thx

Might want to check this out:

ent

Even though it''s not necessarily a "Component" you have
created, it will
provide the same functionality.
