Re: requestAction question

So my first assumption was right - you need to have common element in
non-AJAX layout. In this case all you need is call model function
Apple::getAppleInfo() in AppController beforeFilter/beforeRender that
will retrieve and set data for view and put $this-
>element('show_apples') into layout. And no any need for
requestAction, just simple model call and element output. Or, if logic
of your current ApplesController::getAppleInfo() is too complex for
model, put it into component and use it in AppController.
