The class constructor performs the necessary tasks to instantiate the controller.

This involves the following steps:

• initialize private variables
• determine the methods to be mapped to tasks by detecting which methods do not exist in the base JController class
• register the default task
• set the default model search path
• set the default view search path

JController __construct ( $config )

A controller is often instantiated in the component entry point (the admin.component.php or component.php file, where component is the name of the component). This might be done in the following way:

$controller = new BannersController( array('default_task' => 'click') );
