Rails - Feb 2006 - extracing a cookie before the cookie is set

I want to check it the @session[:user].id exists in an if statement.

However, I the user has not yet logged in, the following error occurs.
How does one check if this (or any other) cookie exists without getting
this error?

Thanks!


Account#manager
Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you
really wanted the id of nil, use object_id
