anonymous controller

As a Rails developer using RSpec
In order to specify behaviour of ApplicationController
I want a simple DSL for generating anonymous subclasses

Scenarios
specify error handling in ApplicationController
Given
a file named "spec/controllers/application_controller_spec.rb" with: 
require "spec_helper"

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  class AccessDenied < StandardError; end

  rescue_from AccessDenied, :with => :access_denied

private

  def access_denied
    redirect_to "/401.html"
  end
end

describe ApplicationController do
  controller do
    def index
      raise ApplicationController::AccessDenied
    end
  end

  describe "handling AccessDenied exceptions" do
    it "redirects to the /401.html page" do
      get :index
      response.should redirect_to("/401.html")
    end
  end
end
When
I run "rspec spec"
Then
the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures"
specify error handling in subclass of ApplicationController
Given
a file named "spec/controllers/application_controller_subclass_spec.rb" with: 
require "spec_helper"

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  class AccessDenied < StandardError; end
end

class ApplicationControllerSubclass < ApplicationController

  rescue_from ApplicationController::AccessDenied, :with => :access_denied

  private

  def access_denied
    redirect_to "/401.html"
  end
end

describe ApplicationControllerSubclass do
  controller(ApplicationControllerSubclass) do
    def index
      raise ApplicationController::AccessDenied
    end
  end

  describe "handling AccessDenied exceptions" do
    it "redirects to the /401.html page" do
      get :index
      response.should redirect_to("/401.html")
    end
  end
end
When
I run "rspec spec"
Then
the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures"
