One module for two 'super' controllers

Hi,

I have two plugins with rails active-rbac and actionflow. Actionflow uses his own controller, so I have two super controllers one for the application (ApplicationController) and one for actionflow (FlowApplicationController with base ActionFlow::Base). Now I want to use functionality in both controllers like authorization en authentication. What is the best way to such a thing, must I build a class a module, etc. And are there examples with a solution for my problem.

Thanks in advance.

If you are asking whether a module is a good way to go for sharing some code (eg before_filters for authentication, logging etc...) between controllers, then yes, that will work.

Thanks for your reply. So I'll put the code in a seperate module. Is there some example how to do this?

don't know about that. There's not really much to explain - you just
do it.
