  # 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
  #
  # When Action Pack is used inside of Rails, the template_root is automatically configured and you don't need to call process_cgi
  # yourself.
  #
  # == 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 with the request accessor 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 <tt>{ "post" => { "name" => "david", "address" => "hyacintvej" } }</tt>.
  # If the address input had been named "post[address][street]", the params would have included 
  # <tt>{ "post" => { "address" => { "street" => "hyacintvej" } } }</tt>. 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 accessor:
  #
  #   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.
  #
  # For removing objects from the session, you can either assign a single key to nil, like <tt>@session[:person] = nil</tt>, or you can
  # remove the entire session with reset_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 :action=> "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 routes configuration file 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 "/clients/37signals/basecamp/project/dash" to somewhere else:
  #
  #   redirect_to(:action => "edit") =>
  #     /clients/37signals/basecamp/project/dash
  #   
  #   redirect_to(:client_name => "nextangle", :project_name => "rails") =>
  #     /clients/nextangle/rails/project/dash
  #
  # Those redirects happen under the configuration of:
  #
  #   map.connect 'clients/:client_name/:project_name/:controller/:action'
  #
  # == Calling multiple redirects or renders
  #
  # The rule for handling calls of multiple redirects and renders is that the first call wins. So in the following example:
  #
  #   def do_something
  #     redirect_to :action => "elsewhere"
  #     render :action => "overthere"
  #   end
  #
  # Only the redirect happens. The rendering call is simply ignored.
  #
  # == 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) }

      #   will produce "/posts/show/10#comments".
      # * <tt>:only_path</tt> --  if true, returns the absolute URL (omitting the protocol, host name, and port)
      # * <tt>:trailing_slash</tt> --  if true, adds a trailing slash, as in "/archive/2005/". Note that this
      #   is currently not recommended since it breaks caching.
      # * <tt>:host</tt> -- overrides the default (current) host if provided
      # * <tt>:protocol</tt> -- overrides the default (current) protocol if provided
      #
      # The URL is generated from the remaining keys in the hash. A URL contains two key parts: the <base> and a query string.
      # Routes composes a query string as the key/value pairs not included in the <base>.
      #
      # The default Routes setup supports a typical Rails path of "controller/action/id" where action and id are optional, with
      # action defaulting to 'index' when not given. Here are some typical url_for statements and their corresponding URLs:
      #  
      #   url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'recent' # => 'proto://host.com/posts/recent'
      #   url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'index' # => 'proto://host.com/posts'
      #   url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show', :id => 10 # => 'proto://host.com/posts/show/10'
      #
      # When generating a new URL, missing values may be filled in from the current request's parameters. For example,
      # <tt>url_for :action => 'some_action'</tt> will retain the current controller, as expected. This behavior extends to
      # other parameters, including <tt>:controller</tt>, <tt>:id</tt>, and any other parameters that are placed into a Route's
      # path.
      #  
      # The URL helpers such as <tt>url_for</tt> have a limited form of memory: when generating a new URL, they can look for
      # missing values in the current request's parameters. Routes attempts to guess when a value should and should not be
      # taken from the defaults. There are a few simple rules on how this is performed:
      #
      # * If the controller name begins with a slash, no defaults are used: <tt>url_for :controller => '/home'</tt>
      # * If the controller changes, the action will default to index unless provided
      #
      # The final rule is applied while the URL is being generated and is best illustrated by an example. Let us consider the
      # route given by <tt>map.connect 'people/:last/:first/:action', :action => 'bio', :controller => 'people'</tt>.
      #
      # Suppose that the current URL is "people/hh/david/contacts". Let's consider a few different cases URLs which are generated
      # from this page.
      #
      # * <tt>url_for :action => 'bio'</tt> -- During the generation of this URL, default values will be used for the first and
      # last components, and the action shall change. The generated URL will be, "people/hh/david/bio".
      # * <tt>url_for :first => 'davids-little-brother'</tt> This generates the URL 'people/hh/davids-little-brother' -- note
      #   that this URL leaves out the assumed action of 'bio'.
      #
      # However, you might ask why the action from the current request, 'contacts', isn't carried over into the new URL. The
      # answer has to do with the order in which the parameters appear in the generated path. In a nutshell, since the
      # value that appears in the slot for <tt>:first</tt> is not equal to default value for <tt>:first</tt> we stop using
      # defaults. On it's own, this rule can account for much of the typical Rails URL behavior.
      #  
      # Although a convienence, defaults can occasionaly get in your way. In some cases a default persists longer than desired.
      # The default may be cleared by adding <tt>:name => nil</tt> to <tt>url_for</tt>'s options.
      # This is often required when writing form helpers, since the defaults in play may vary greatly depending upon where the
      # helper is used from. The following line will redirect to PostController's default action, regardless of the page it is
      # displayed on:
      #
      #   url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => nil
      #      
      # Instead of passing an options hash, you can also pass a method reference in the form of a symbol. Consider this example:
      #
      #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
      #     def update
      #       # do some update
      #       redirect_to :dashboard_url

      # === Rendering an action
      # 
      # Action rendering is the most common form and the type used automatically by Action Controller when nothing else is
      # specified. By default, actions are rendered within the current layout (if one exists).
      #
      #   # Renders the template for the action "goal" within the current controller
      #   render :action => "goal"
      #
      #   # Renders the template for the action "explosion" from the ErrorsController
      #   render :action => "errors/explosion", :status => 500 
      #
      #   # Renders the template for the action "short_goal" within the current controller,
      #   # but without the current active layout
      #   render :action => "short_goal", :layout => false
      #
      #   # Renders the template for the action "long_goal" within the current controller,
      #   # but with a custom layout
      #   render :action => "short_goal", :layout => "spectacular"
      #
      # _Deprecation_ _notice_: This used to have the signatures <tt>render_action("action", status = 200)</tt>,
      # <tt>render_without_layout("controller/action", status = 200)</tt>, and 
      # <tt>render_with_layout("controller/action", status = 200, layout)</tt>.
      #
      # === Rendering partials
      # 
      # Partial rendering is most commonly used together with Ajax calls that only updates one or a few elements on a page
      # without reloading. Rendering of partials from the controller makes it possible to use the same partial template in
      # both the full-page rendering (by calling it from within the template) and when sub-page updates happen (from the
      # controller action responding to Ajax calls). By default, the current layout is not used.
      #
      #   # Renders the partial located at app/views/controller/_win.r(html|xml)
      #   render :partial => "win"
      #
      #   # Renders the partial with a status code of 500 (internal error)
      #   render :partial => "broken", :status => 500
      #
      #   # Renders the same partial but also makes a local variable available to it
      #   render :partial => "win", :locals => { :name => "david" }
      #
      #   # Renders a collection of the same partial by making each element of @wins available through 
      #   # the local variable "win" as it builds the complete response
      #   render :partial => "win", :collection => @wins
      #
      #   # Renders the same collection of partials, but also renders the win_divider partial in between
      #   # each win partial.
      #   render :partial => "win", :collection => @wins, :spacer_template => "win_divider"

      # _Deprecation_ _notice_: This used to have the signatures 
      # <tt>render_partial(partial_path = default_template_name, object = nil, local_assigns = {})</tt> and

      #
      # === Rendering a file
      # 
      # File rendering works just like action rendering except that it takes a complete path to the template intended
      # for rendering and that the current layout is not applied automatically.
      #
      #   # Renders the template located in /path/to/some/template.r(html|xml)
      #   render :file => "/path/to/some/template"
      #
      #   # Renders the same template within the current layout, but with a 404 status code
      #   render :file => "/path/to/some/template", :layout => true, :status => 404
      #
      # _Deprecation_ _notice_: This used to have the signature <tt>render_file(path, status = 200)</tt>
      #
      # === Rendering text
      # 
      # Rendering of text is usually used for tests or for rendering prepared content, such as a cache. By default, text
      # rendering is not done within the active layout.
      #
      #   # Renders the clear text "hello world" with status code 200
      #   render :text => "hello world!"
      #
      #   # Renders the clear text "Explosion!"  with status code 500
      #   render :text => "Explosion!", :status => 500 
      #
      #   # Renders the clear text "Hi there!" within the current active layout (if one exists)
      #   render :text => "Explosion!", :layout => true
      #
      #   # Renders the clear text "Hi there!" within the the layout 
      #   # placed in "app/views/layouts/special.r(html|xml)"
      #   render :text => "Explosion!", :layout => "special"
      #
      # _Deprecation_ _notice_: This used to have the signature <tt>render_text("text", status = 200)</tt>
      #
      # === Rendering an inline template
      #
      # Rendering of an inline template works as a cross between text and action rendering where the source for the template
      # is supplied inline, like text, but its interpreted with ERb or Builder, like action. By default, ERb is used for rendering
      # and the current layout is not used.
      #
      #   # Renders "hello, hello, hello, again"
      #   render :inline => "<%= 'hello, ' * 3 + 'again' %>" 
      #
      #   # Renders "<p>Good seeing you!</p>" using Builder
      #   render :inline => "xml.p { 'Good seeing you!' }", :type => :rxml
      #
      #   # Renders "hello david"
      #   render :inline => "<%= 'hello ' + name %>", :locals => { :name => "david" }
      #
      # _Deprecation_ _notice_: This used to have the signature <tt>render_template(template, status = 200, type = :rhtml)</tt>
      #
      # === Rendering nothing
      #
      # Rendering nothing is often convenient in combination with Ajax calls that perform their effect client-side or
      # when you just want to communicate a status code.
      #
      #   # Renders an empty response with status code 200
      #   render :nothing => true
      #
      #   # Renders an empty response with status code 401 (access denied)
      #   render :nothing => true, :status => 401
