when using map.namespace, rails is not properly finding the appropriate namespaced controller

Reported by dharam_sat (at yahoo) | July 10th, 2009 @ 01:31 AM | in 3.x

When using map.namespace like the following, rails is not identifying the proper namespaced controller. (Note: rails default routes were removed)

map.namespace :admin do |admin|
admin.resources :users end

Behavior 1: When UsersController.rb is created under app/controllers and there is no admin folder under app/controller, visiting localhost:3000/admin/users, rails is throwing the following error

NameError in Admin/usersController#index
uninitialized constant Admin

(Expected behavior (atleast to my knowledge): Uninitialized Constant Admin::UsersController)

Behavior 2: When UsersController.rb is created under app/controllers and admin folder is created under app/controller, visiting localhost:3000/admin/users, rails is throwing the following error

NameError in Admin/usersController#index
uninitialized constant Admin::UsersController

(Expected behavior (atleast to my knowledge): Uninitialized Constant Admin::UsersController)

Behavior 3: When UsersController.rb is moved under the admin folder, visiting localhost:3000/admin/users, rails is throwing the following one of the two errors:

TypeError in Admin/usersController#index
superclass mismatch for class UsersController
(or) expected users_controller.rb to define Admin::UsersController
(Expected behavior (atleast to my knowledge): Second Error is OK)

Same thing here. I have a namespace within a namespace:
```
map.namespace :api do |api|
  api.root  :controller => 'documentation', :action => 'show'
  
  api.resource :documentation, :controller => 'documentation'
   
  api.namespace :documentation do |doc|
    doc.resources :flights
  end
end
```
My controller are organized like this:

api/documentation
api/documentation/flights
api/flights

When I go to localhost::3000/api/documentation/flights I get taken to the api/flights controller.
