For Rails, you can create your own custom classes and put them in lib  
folder. from lib you can automatically access your classes in  
controllers

Thanks for the reply.

How to access the class in Controller.

Could u give one sample.

also , is there any way to encrypt a password in controller, I mean,  
when we submit a form we will get all the values in controller . can we  
hash that value there?

Thanks
