Use resource or @resource in before_filter

[joost]

Is there a way to use the @resource that is created or the resource method in a before_filter?

I checked a little deeper and found that all actions call find_resource themselves.. instead it would be nice to have a before_filter :find_resource, :only => [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]

This would make it possible to do some extra checks in a before_filter like:

before_filter :check_if_owner_of_resource

def check_if_owner_of_resource
  redirect_to root_path, :notice => "You are not the owner" unless resource.user == current_user
end

Hi,

I'm currently on holiday until the 1st May. I'll look at this after then.
