Is this how it should work?

Hi Muhammad,

I'd advise handling your ACL at service level, not controller / 
dispatcher level. In steno:

Controller {
   someAction {
       getRequestedThing()->doAction()
   }
}

RequestedThing {
   doAction() {
       if(!acl->audit(thisAction)) {
           throw new RequestedThing_ServiceDeniedException();
       }

       getModel()->doAction()
   }
}

You can of course still keep your acl naming based on methods, but this 
way it keeps the ACL clear from the controllers, and therefore much 
easier to test.
