I have an association between users and subscriptions. I’m using REST so in my subscriptions controller I’m using a before\_filter which loads the current user from cache. However, I notice when running the index action that I have a cache hit in the logs 4 times which I’m assuming represents the 4 actions in my controller. Does the controller run the before\_filter for each action before the actions are actually run? ---

I’ve certainly never seen that happen and it’s not what’s supposed to happen. Fred
