This discussion helped a lot, thanks. I understand the flow better -- one controller instance is created and lasts the lifetime of the request.
I implemented nate's suggestion because if I tell my UserController not to redirect then I won't capture the case of not-logged-in users going to /user/edit and other user actions. So somewhere I needed nate's "$this->action != 'login'" and so I put it in AppController so that this logic all lives in one place. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
