Naming controllers in modules?

Hey guys.

I noticed in an example from the active scaffold documentation that it seems to be possible to put rails controllers in modules, a la "class Admin::CompaniesController < ApplicationController". Does anyone know anything about this? What do you name the file? Do you put it in a subdirectory?

Thanks.

thanks, thats very helpful. one more question: what address does this get mapped to? ../admin/companies doesn't seem to work...?

Funny, I just started using this and wanted to understand exactly that.

I can't test it in my app right now, but I'd venture a guess that it
would map to: admin/company/

Here's a question... I notice you're running the model generator as
well. Does that mean I would not be able to "share" a Company model
between two different controller namespaces, say
Admin::CompanyController and Guest::CompanyController?
