Question

After reading this post I was wondering what would be the best way to “superclass the controller” in my app.

I have several controllers that require different security, but, they use the same set of persisted variables in templates. Does this look like the right approach?

public class Globals extends Controller {
  @Before
  static void setGlobals() {
    renderArgs.set("foo","bar");
  }
}

Then annotate controllers @With interceptor

@With([Globals.class, mySecurity.class])
public class Application extends Controller {
  // my methods
}

Cool?

Yes, using @With annotation is the way that play recommended. But you are free to use inheritance if no other side effect
