How can I get the action name in a Symfony2 controller?

Question

Is there a way to get the name of the action in a Symfony2 controller?

public function createAction(Request $request, $title) {

    // Expected result: crea

If you use Controller as a Service than the schema is different:

$request->attributes->get('_controller'); will return "service_id:createAction"

A possible solution for both schemas:

$controller = $request->attributes->get('_controller');
$controller = str_replace('::', ':', $controller);
list($controller, $action) = explode(':', $controller);
