Hi,

I have a method in a controller which I am calling by using  
link\_to\_remote  
with update option.  
The method performs some operations, sets the status message in the  
flash  
hash as flash[:notice], and then redirects the call to another action.  
After redirect flash[:notice] disappears, is this behavior expected?

Thanks in advance
