[Catalyst] Please Help: Aborting a Catalyst request in auto method

[Rajesh Kumar Mallah]

Thanks for the Response.,

by default end is defined as:

sub end : ActionClass('RenderView') {}

It helped me to split it in 2 parts:


sub end : Private {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;
        $c->forward('render') unless $c->res->output ;
}

sub render : ActionClass('RenderView') { }


=========================

so forwarding to default rendering action was skipped
if any previous actions had set an output.

If was the default RenderView that was leading to
other actions.

Checking for output is only one of the way , I think based
on need other criteria can also be used.
