includes on controller

is it possible to have includes on controllers ?

ie. I have this block on many controller actions and I would like to make it as DRY as possible

require 'rubygems' require 'net/ldap' require 'iconv'

ldap = Net::LDAP.new :host => 'ldap',       :port => 389,       :auth => {             :method => :anonymous       }

controllers are just normal objects so yes. If it was me doing this, i'd probably go the way of a wrapper class around Net::LDAP
