Thanks for the comments guys. If there is not wasy way to bounce to another controller/action then there should be. Its available via redirect_to, and one can render the partials of another controllers actions, but it seems one cant quite just get the action code to execute.
My usage case is this: I am writing a web based simple text chat app. People submit comments, calling the AddComment action, which updates the conversation, and renders the comment to the people having the conversations. I want to build in some predefined keywords that will get recognised in the AddComment action, but will call another controller. Eg I have a documents controller with a AttachDoc action which gets called normally when the user clicks on the right button. I now want to allow doc attachment from the commandline - So when someone types 'AttachDoc' as a comment, controll should jump to the documentscontroller. Redirect_to will do the job, but with a unnecessary trip back to the user. Still reading? thanks!
