How to access a different controller from inside a controller Symfony2

If you don’t want to define the class as a service, as it doesn’t feel as a good practice to me and @Qoop quoted Fabien saying the same, you can use forwarding:

http://symfony.com/doc/current/controller/forwarding.html

public function indexAction($name)
{
    $response = $this->forward('AcmeHelloBundle:Hello:fancy', array(
        'name'  => $name,
        'color' => 'green',
    ));

    // ... further modify the response or return it directly

    return $response;
}

If you need to embed the output of an internal controller-action in a template, the documentation for Symfony also has something for that.
