  # Action Controllers are made up of one or more actions that performs its purpose and then either renders a template or
  # redirects to another action. An action is defined as a public method on the controller, which will automatically be 
  # made accessible to the web-server through a mod_rewrite mapping. A sample controller could look like this:
  #
  #   class GuestBookController < ActionController::Base
  #     def index
  #       @entries = Entry.find_all
  #     end
  #     
  #     def sign
  #       Entry.create(@params["entry"])
  #       redirect_to :action => "index"
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  #   GuestBookController.template_root = "templates/"
  #   GuestBookController.process_cgi
  #
  # All actions assume that you want to render a template matching the name of the action at the end of the performance
  # unless you tell it otherwise. The index action complies with this assumption, so after populating the @entries instance
  # variable, the GuestBookController will render "templates/guestbook/index.rhtml".
  #
  # Unlike index, the sign action isn't interested in rendering a template. So after performing its main purpose (creating a 
  # new entry in the guest book), it sheds the rendering assumption and initiates a redirect instead. This redirect works by
  # returning an external "302 Moved" HTTP response that takes the user to the index action.
  #
  # The index and sign represent the two basic action archetypes used in Action Controllers. Get-and-show and do-and-redirect.
  # Most actions are variations of these themes.
  #
  # Also note that it's the final call to <tt>process_cgi</tt> that actually initiates the action performance. It will extract
  # request and response objects from the CGI
  #
  # == Requests
  #
  # Requests are processed by the Action Controller framework by extracting the value of the "action" key in the request parameters.
  # This value should hold the name of the action to be performed. Once the action has been identified, the remaining
  # request parameters, the session (if one is available), and the full request with all the http headers are made available to
  # the action through instance variables. Then the action is performed.
  #
  # The full request object is available in @request and is primarily used to query for http headers. These queries are made by
  # accessing the environment hash, like this:
  #
  #   def hello_ip
  #     location = @request.env["REMOTE_IP"]
  #     render_text "Hello stranger from #{location}"
  #   end
  #
  # == Parameters
  #
  # All request parameters whether they come from a GET or POST request, or from the URL, are available through the @params hash.
  # So an action that was performed through /weblog/list?category=All&limit=5 will include { "category" => "All", "limit" => 5 }
  # in @params.
  #
  # It's also possible to construct multi-dimensional parameter hashes by specifying keys using brackets, such as:
  #
  #   <input type="text" name="post[name]" value="david">
  #   <input type="text" name="post[address]" value="hyacintvej">
  #
  # A request stemming from a form holding these inputs will include { "post" # => { "name" => "david", "address" => "hyacintvej" } }.
  # If the address input had been named "post[address][street]", the @params would have included 
  # { "post" => { "address" => { "street" => "hyacintvej" } } }. There's no limit to the depth of the nesting.
  #
  # == Sessions
  #
  # Sessions allows you to store objects in memory between requests. This is useful for objects that are not yet ready to be persisted,
  # such as a Signup object constructed in a multi-paged process, or objects that don't change much and are needed all the time, such
  # as a User object for a system that requires login. The session should not be used, however, as a cache for objects where it's likely 
  # they could be changed unknowingly. It's usually too much work to keep it all synchronized -- something databases already excel at.
  #
  # You can place objects in the session by using the <tt>@session</tt> hash:
  #
  #   @session["person"] = Person.authenticate(user_name, password)
  #
  # And retrieved again through the same hash:
  #
  #   Hello #{@session["person"]}
  #
  # Any object can be placed in the session (as long as it can be Marshalled). But remember that 1000 active sessions each storing a
  # 50kb object could lead to a 50MB memory overhead. In other words, think carefully about size and caching before resorting to the use
  # of the session.
  #
  # == Responses
  #
  # Each action results in a response, which holds the headers and document to be sent to the user's browser. The actual response
  # object is generated automatically through the use of renders and redirects, so it's normally nothing you'll need to be concerned about.
  #
  # == Renders
  #
  # Action Controller sends content to the user by using one of five rendering methods. The most versatile and common is the rendering
  # of a template. Included in the Action Pack is the Action View, which enables rendering of ERb templates. It's automatically configured.
  # The controller passes objects to the view by assigning instance variables:
  #
  #   def show
  #     @post = Post.find(@params["id"])
  #   end
  #
  # Which are then automatically available to the view:
  #
  #   Title: <%= @post.title %>
  #
  # You don't have to rely on the automated rendering. Especially actions that could result in the rendering of different templates will use
  # the manual rendering methods:
  #
  #   def search
  #     @results = Search.find(@params["query"])
  #     case @results
  #       when 0 then render "weblog/no_results"
  #       when 1 then render_action "show"
  #       when 2..10 then render_action "show_many"
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # Read more about writing ERb and Builder templates in link:classes/ActionView/Base.html.
  #
  # == Redirects
  #
  # Redirecting is what actions that update the model do when they're done. The <tt>save_post</tt> method shouldn't be responsible for also
  # showing the post once it's saved -- that's the job for <tt>show_post</tt>. So once <tt>save_post</tt> has completed its business, it'll
  # redirect to <tt>show_post</tt>. All redirects are external, which means that when the user refreshes his browser, it's not going to save
  # the post again, but rather just show it one more time.
  # 
  # This sounds fairly simple, but the redirection is complicated by the quest for a phenomenon known as "pretty urls". Instead of accepting
  # the dreadful beings that is "weblog_controller?action=show&post_id=5", Action Controller goes out of its way to represent the former as
  # "/weblog/show/5". And this is even the simple case. As an example of a more advanced pretty url consider
  # "/library/books/ISBN/0743536703/show", which can be mapped to books_controller?action=show&type=ISBN&id=0743536703.
  # 
  # Redirects work by rewriting the URL of the current action. So if the show action was called by "/library/books/ISBN/0743536703/show", 
  # we can redirect to an edit action simply by doing <tt>redirect_to(:action => "edit")</tt>, which could throw the user to 
  # "/library/books/ISBN/0743536703/edit". Naturally, you'll need to setup the .htaccess (or other means of URL rewriting for the web server)
  # to point to the proper controller and action in the first place, but once you have, it can be rewritten with ease.
  # 
  # Let's consider a bunch of examples on how to go from "/library/books/ISBN/0743536703/edit" to somewhere else:
  #
  #   redirect_to(:action => "show", :action_prefix => "XTC/123") =>
  #     "http://www.singlefile.com/library/books/XTC/123/show"
  #
  #   redirect_to(:path_params => {"type" => "EXBC"}) =>
  #     "http://www.singlefile.com/library/books/EXBC/0743536703/show"
  #
  #   redirect_to(:controller => "settings") => 
  #     "http://www.singlefile.com/library/settings/"
  #
  # For more examples of redirecting options, have a look at the unit test in test/controller/url_test.rb. It's very readable and will give
  # you an excellent understanding of the different options and what they do.
  #
  # == Environments
  #
  # Action Controller works out of the box with CGI, FastCGI, and mod_ruby. CGI and mod_ruby controllers are triggered just the same using:
  #
  #   WeblogController.process_cgi
  #
  # FastCGI controllers are triggered using:
  #
  #   FCGI.each_cgi{ |cgi| WeblogController.process_cgi(cgi) }

      # * <tt>:module</tt> - serves as a alias to :controller_prefix (overwrites :controller_prefix unless its nil)
      # * <tt>:controller</tt> - specifies a new controller and clears out everything after the controller name (including the action, 
      #   the pre- and suffix, and all params), so called with "settings" gives "/library/settings/".
      # * <tt>:action_prefix</tt> - specifies the string between the controller name and the action name, which would
      #   be "/ISBN/0743536703" for the example. Called with "/XTC/123/" gives "/library/books/XTC/123/show".
      # * <tt>:action</tt> - specifies a new action, so called with "edit" gives "/library/books/ISBN/0743536703/edit"
      # * <tt>:action_suffix</tt> - specifies the string after the action name, which would be empty for the example.
      #   Called with "/detailed" gives "/library/books/ISBN/0743536703/detailed".

      #   the action_prefix or action_suffix. So passing { "type" => "XTC" } would give "/library/books/XTC/0743536703/show".
      # * <tt>:id</tt> - shortcut where ":id => 5" can be used instead of specifying :path_params => { "id" => 5 }.
      #   Called with "123" gives "/library/books/ISBN/123/show".
      # * <tt>:params</tt> - specifies a hash that represents the regular request parameters, such as { "cat" => 1, 
      #   "origin" => "there"} that would give "?cat=1&origin=there". Called with { "temporary" => 1 } in the example would give
      #   "/library/books/ISBN/0743536703/show?temporary=1"
