This will give you the difference between a controller and its parent: Admin::HomeController.public_instance_methods - HomeController.public_instance_methods
BUT (there has to be one), if the parent controller has a method of the same name it will not be listed - so the array may be incomplete....
hello, you can use a rake task to pre-populate your database from fixture files. There are a few reference tables in my system that rarely change (but are too large to hardcode...be careful of that route; it can also be very brittle), so this works really well for me. http://pastie.caboo.se/34809
