Thanks for response. I'm not understanding why someone may need to pass
an alternative new action, when both the new and start are declared as
methods in sessions controller. If the reason is because these are two
kinds of 'new' actions that have different purposes, then why does start
method silently return null since it doesn't contain any functionality
within its scope? Maybe the answer isn't possible given the context I
provided but in general terms, why might it be done?
Thanks for response.
