Rails - Sep 2014 - ActionController inherit before_filter

I have something like this:



========================================================================class
ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
 def check_auth
  # ...
 end
end

class BaseController < ApplicationController
 before_filter :check_auth, :except => [ :getSession ]
 # more here...
 def getSession()
  # ...
 end
end

class UserController < BaseController
 before_filter :check_auth, :except => [ :getNotifications ]
 # more here...
 def getNotifications()
  getSession()
  # ...
 end
end
========================================================================
I'm was expecting wrongly that if UserController#getNotifications calls
BaseController#getSession check_auth would not called.

If I change the before_filter in my UserController to:

 before_filter :check_auth, :except => [ :getSession, :getNotifications
]

it works as expected.

Isn't there a way to incorporate the before_filter settings from the
parent controller say during construction of an instance of a sub class?

Thanks for any help in advance
Pete
