Hmm unfortunately no. As an example of one of the things that
ModuleController will be doing is this:
...
var $components = array('Preferences');
....
function index() {
$this->redirect($this->Preferences->get('App',$this-
>name,null,'action'),true);
}
...
What the code does is fetch the preferred action from a users
preferences of any given controller and then redirect the user to that
action.
I used to have that index function defined in all of the controllers
that needed this "preferred redirection", that lead to redundant code
which was a pain to maintain.
But since having it in AppController would be very annoying since not
all Controllers must behave like this for their "index".
In some cases doing it would be very wrong (eg. the controller which
handles login/logout stuff among others) and when using scaffolding in
the early stages of adding something new to the project.
