Is there a Symfony 2 controller beforeAction?

Question

Is there a way, for example, beforeAction for Symfony 2 controllers? Also, is there a common beforeAction for the whole package / project?

Answer 1

No, unfortunately, symfony2 does not have the equivalent of preExecute , but instead you have access to a more powerful event model.

This article explains how to add a listener.

The event you want to listen to is onCoreController
