Rails - May 2008 - session reassembly?

Hi,
I want to redistribute incoming requests to different controllers,
e.g. depending upon the request''s user id a request should be
dispatched to user_owner_controller or user_other_controller.

So far I''ve just extended RouteSet to ask the controller which in turn
should return the ''real'' controller that should be executed:

ActionController::Routing::RouteSet.class_eval do
    alias_method :recognize_orig, :recognize

    def recognize(request)
      controller = recognize_orig(request)
      if defined? controller.acl then
        controller.acl
      else
        controller
      end
    end
end

I''ve got the following problem: in the controller''s acl method
neither
session nor param is populated. Is there any way to create those
hashes?

Or: is there a better way to accomplish the needed behaviour?

cheers,
Andreas Happe

I don''t really understand the reason you want to work like that.
If the function of the two controllers are different,
then it seems fair enough to have two different paths.

I don''t know the context of your site,
but if you think of facebook,

you have you "user_other" page;
  http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=blahblahblah

and you have your "user_owner" page;
  http://www.facebook.com/editprofile.php

two ways of looking at the same profile,
but approaching it in two different ways,
has two different urls.

Else, just redirect the "user_owner" to a different controller,
if they''re the owner,
they''re probably happy to move to a "/owner" url temporarily,
and you can make sure all the urls they could click on would go here 
directly.
