Ruby on Rails

I have something like this:



=========================================================================
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
def check_auth
# ...
end
end

class BaseController < ApplicationController
before_filter :check_auth, :except => [ :getSession ]
# more here...
def getSession()
# ...
end
end

class UserController < BaseController
before_filter :check_auth, :except => [ :getNotifications ]
# more here...
def getNotifications()
getSession()
# ...
end
end
=========================================================================

I'm was expecting wrongly that if UserController#getNotifications calls
BaseController#getSession check_auth would not called.

If I change the before_filter in my UserController to:

before_filter :check_auth, :except => [ :getSession, :getNotifications
]

it works as expected.

Isn't there a way to incorporate the before_filter settings from the
parent controller say during construction of an instance of a sub class?

Thanks for any help in advance
Pete
