reset_session in rails 3.2 is not working

I am using Rails 3.2.13 with Ruby 1.9.3 and not using Devise.

I am writing script to reset session after each sign in. Please check below code and point out the issue.

Before using reset_session, everything is fine. I want to use reset_session feature.

Sessions controller

class SessionsController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_filter :is_loggedin?, :only => [:new, :create]
  def create
  render :update do |page|
    if !params[:email].blank? && !params[:password].blank?
     if user = User.authenticate(params[:email], params[:password])
      if user == "unuser"
        page.alert("Your username and/or password was incorrect.")
         elsif !user.account_id.blank?

        temp_session = session.dup
        reset_session
        session.replace(temp_session)

        # temp = session
        # reset_session
        # session.reverse_merge!(temp)

        if params[:remember_me]
          cookies.permanent[:user_id] = user.id
        else
          cookies[:user_id] = user.id
        end
        user.update_attributes(:last_login => Time.now, :is_online => true)
        user.update_attributes(:time_zone => cookies["time_zone"])

        if user.user_type=="teacher"
          page.redirect_to home_teachers_path(:account_id =>user.account_id)
        else
          page.redirect_to home_students_path(:account_id =>user.account_id)
        end
      else
        page.alert("You have not confirmed the activation link yet. Please check your registered email ")
      end
    else
      page.alert("Invalid user/password.")
    end
  else
    page.alert("You can't leave the fields empty.")
   end
  end
end
end

Below shows error logs:

The problem is that you are doing all of this inside your render :update block.

Inside that block self is no longer the controller, which is why you can't call reset_session (it's the controller's view context).

If I were you I'd try and disentangle the controller logic from the output (i.e. what is produced by render :update)
