hi, this is part of the standard UserSession Code:

def create  
@user\_session = UserSession.new(params[:user\_session])  
@user\_session.save do |result|  
if result  
flash[:notice] = “Successfully logged in.”

p “----------A-------------------”  
p @user\_session.inspect

p “-----------B------------------”  
p current\_user.inspect

…  
LOG  
A: “#\<UserSession: {:login=\>“tom”, :password=\>”"}\>"  
B: “nil”

but, i do have this in the app-controller:  
def current\_user\_session  
return @current\_user\_session if defined?(@current\_user\_session)  
@current\_user\_session = UserSession.find  
end

```
def current_user
  return @current_user if defined?(@current_user)
  @current_user = current_user_session && 

```

current\_user\_session.record  
end

so , why cant i access current\_user- record (in A)?

thx
