Rails 3.1.3 rendering templates without controller action

[cvshepherd]

Given this route: get 'login' => 'site#login' and the appropriate login template in views/site, Rails actually renders the template when going to http://myapp/login, without a login method defined in the site controller. I can't find any info on this, but I assume that this is not intended behavior. Or am I mistaken?

This is proper behavior, it's just for convenience if you don't need anything inside an action.

Oh, sorry. Is this documented somewhere?

@cvshepherd http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html section 2.1 ;)

@pokonski Thanks. Seriously, that's the one guide I never read..
EDIT: And now that I've read it, that really was the only thing that was new to me. Don't really know how I managed to miss this. Sorry to have bothered you guys with this issue.
