Symfony 2: how to sunbathe code before EVERY controller?

Question

I want to check if the user is logged in - before calling the call.

Something like preDispatch()that Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controllerwould be great.

I would like to avoid :

class MyBaseController extends Controller {
    public function __construct() {
        // ...
        // check: logged in?
        // ...
    }
}

class MyFooController extends MyBaseController() {
    // ...
}

I just found threads from 2011/2012. I'm new to Symfony using version 2.5, and from the very beginning I would like to learn about best practices. Any tips?

Thanks in advance!
