Rails - Sep 2006 - reset session inside a model?

Can I reset / delete the session from a model (rather than from a controller)?

When a visitor to my site logs out, all the information they entered into the DB
and files created while they were using the site are deleted and then I reset
their session.  I''m trying to move the cleanup from my controller into
my model.

Everything works fine in the controller, but I''m getting an "
undefined local variable or method ''reset_session'' "
error when I call reset_session in the model.

Thanks!
Bill

Its probobly not the best idea to have session handling inside your
business logic.

Instead, you could implement a "reset" method for models that the user
will be using throughout a session and call it from the appropriate
action in your controller.

#controller file...
class MyController
  def logout
    @userobject.reset
    reset_session
  end
end

hope that helps.
