Rails - Sep 2009 - Calling a controller action from another controller

Hey there, I''d like to set up my application so that, upon
successfully creating a new user (within the users controller), that
user is automatically logged in.  So this is what I figured might
work, but it doesn''t:

<within users_controller.rb >
---------------------------
def create
@user = User.new(params[:user])
...
if @user.save
  ...
  redirect_to(:controller => ''sessions'', :action =>
''create'', :login
=> @user.login, :password => @user.password)
else
  ...
end
-----------------------------
I get an error to the tone of "non-existent action."

Any ideas?  Should I post my sessions_controller code?

Thanks in advance, I hope I''ve provided enough info.

Best,
Jared

That should work, I think.  Is create defined in SessionsController?
