php

I saw in upgrading to 1.6 that REST was rebuilt to have internal auth checks. Before I would just do some work around logic in the router controller but from what I read you can set a method internally that should return a bool value? I can't get the response to here is a simplified example of a rest controller


class Controller_Rest_Public extends Controller_Rest
{

      protected $format = 'json';
      protected $auth = 'warden';
      private $success = false;
      private $code = 200;
      private $message = null;
      private $data = array();

      public function before()
      {
            parent::before();
      }

      protected function warden()
      {
            //perform logic
            return true;
            
      }

      public function after($response)
      {
            return $this->response(array('success' => $this->success, 'message' => $this->message, 'data' => $this->data), $this->code);
      }

      public function post_check_api()
      {
            $this->success = true;
            $this->message = 'API OK';
      }

}
