You're right. There's a confinient helper to generate the right 
javascript 
(http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper/JavaScriptGenerator/GeneratorMethods/redirect_to):

def find_created_actions
    unless @if_login
        render :update do |page|
            flash[:login]="..."
            page.redirect_to(:controller=>"login",:action=>"login")
        end
    end
    [...]
end
