how to add a method without coding it directly into app?

[ronald.evangelista]

..an oversight. :-)

modified slightly to work:

class_def(meth) do |*a|
    controller_module = self.class.name.split(/::/)
    controller_module.pop
    controller_module << :Login  # maybe this could be passed as an arg too
    controller_module=controller_module.join("::").constantize
    @state.Back=@env.REQUEST_URI
    return redirect(controller_module) if @state.blank? or 
@state.user_id.nil?
    send("__#{meth}__", *a)
end

thanks for the speedy reply!
