Find controller in Request

Hello all,

I have a get request, say www.superduper.com/football/list, which lists all footballs belonging to the company superduper. However, in the application controller, I want to create a filter which checks to see if there are any footballs in the database first and if not, forwards to a different URL.

Something like

if(request.url.controller == 'football') redirect_to 'some URL'

I have been looking around for this and cant find it.

Cheers, John

params[:controller] should be one way to access that datum.
