Rails - Sep 2007 - Calling a controller method from another controller

I have a rest endpoing that allows my users to create a new subscriber
by posting to the subscribers collection, e.g.:

[POST] sevice/subscribers

Although, this is fine for outsiders using the API, I need have an
internal app that needs to call the API too. Actually, it''s in the
same project at /subscription. It''s just a signup form which posts to
the subscribers collection. And since it''s in the same project I would
like to "over ride" the create method of my subscribers_controller.

 For example, a method called create_subscriber in
subscription_controller (my signup form). In create_subscriber I would
like to post to the subscribers collection like previously, but I
would also like to do some additional processing after it comes back
successful.

 class SubscriptionController < ApplicationController


  def index
   # render page...
  end

  def create_subscriber
    #post to subscribers collection with  @subscriber
Subscriber.new(params[:subscriber])
   # do additional processing
  end

end

Here''s the problem. There''s duplication there, the
subscriptions
controller has the same exact code to create a new subscriber. How can
I just call the SubscriptionsController.create to remove this
duplication?

You can move that method into application.rb which is the parent class 
of your controllers.
