Ok. So now I've namespace my ApplicationController like so:
class Citygate::Admin::ApplicationController < ::Admin::ApplicationController
protect_from_forgery
layout 'admin/application'
rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied do |exception|
redirect_to root_url, :alert => exception.message
end
end
The problem here is that I want the app/admin/application_controller.rb to be
able to change the cancan redirect and since the engine's controller inherits
from it, the engine's definitions will always take precendence. This is not the
functionality I want. I want to be able to provide some defaults in the engine
that can be overidden in the app.
Am I doing anything wrong here?
