Disabling sessions for a single controller has been deprecated

The problem is;

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  # Pick a unique cookie name to distinguish our session data from others'
  session :session_key => '_simple_blog'
  #session :disabled => true

  private #------------

    def authorize_access
      if !session[:user_id]
        flash[:notice] = "Please log in."
        redirect_to(:controller => 'staff', :action => 'login')
        return false
      end   
    end

end

the error message is

DEPRECATION WARNING: Disabling sessions for a single controller has been deprecated. Sessions are now lazy loaded. So if you don't access them, consider them off. You can still modify the session cookie options with request.session_options.

Can somebody point em in the right direction.

Thanks

You are receiving this warning because you are explicitly loading the session context via the session method. You should instead use request.session_options[:session_key] = 'new_session_key' from within an action, as the framework now lazily loads the context if necessary (as you saw). If you want to do this for all actions, create a method and use before_filter:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :setup_session_key

  protected

    def setup_session_key
      # Pick a unique cookie name to distinguish our session data from others'
      request.session_options[:session_key] = '_simple_blog'
    end
end
