[FIXED] CakePHP - call_user_func_array() looses $this->request->data?

Issue

I need to call Controller-methods dynamically. For this purpose I wrote the following code:

if(isset($method['postParams'])) {
    foreach($method['postParams'] as $index => $param) {
        $this->request->data[ $index ] = $param;
    }
}

App::import('Controller', $method['controller']);
// get result
$method['controller'] = $method['controller'] . 'Controller';
$Controller = new $method['controller']();

try {
    if(count($method['params'])) {
        $varVal = call_user_func_array(array($Controller, $method['method']), $method['params']);
    } else {
        $varVal = call_user_func(array($Controller, $method['method']));
    }
} catch(Exception $e) {
    $varVal = $e;
}
$this->set($varName, $varVal);

Now I debug the function being called and see that $this->request->data is NULL.

How to solve this?

Solution

For the sake of completeness I'll post the answer to this problem for anyone having a similar issue to find the solution more easily.

Instead of:

$this->request->data

Use:

$Controller->request->data

After instanciating the $Controller object.
