The simplest way to disable sessions in Rails is to use session :off (see ActionController::SessionManagement::ClassMethods).

session :off

To disable session suport only for a specific controller add session :off to that controller

class MyController < ApplicationController
    session :off
end

Written like that, sessions are disabled for all actions on this controller.

Like filters, you can specify :only and :except clauses to restrict subset. The following code will disable session for first_action and third_action, but not for second_action.

class MyController < ApplicationController
  session :off, :only %w(first_action third_action)

  def first_action
  end

  def second_action
  end

  def third_action
  end
end
