I just spent a few hours tracking down a bug in Rails 1.1, so I thought I''d post the issue and a workaround just in case anyone else hits it.

Hi, I''m wondering if there is a simple solution to call a method once per page request. I tried to place my call in a before_filter in ApplicationController but it''d called a second time if I use render_component from a view.
