Rails - Jun 2006 - const_missing error of has_many through association

Hi,

 I am new to ruby on rails. I am building an association join model
and encountered the following error.  Does anyone know what am I
missing?
> NameError in StartController#home
>
>d:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:100:in
`const_missing'': uninitialized constant Membership
 I have the following tables relationships

 Users  -------< Memberships >------- Teams

 I have three model classes defined as below
>class Users < ActiveRecord::Base
>  has_many :memberships
>  has_many :teams, :through => :memberships
>end
>
>class Teams < ActiveRecord::Base
>  has_many :memberships
>  has_many :users, :through => :memberships
>end
>
>class Memberships < ActiveRecord::Base
>  belongs_to :team
>  belongs_to :user
>end
 My ApplicationController has the following code.  My other
controllers are empty.
>class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
>  def home
>    @user = Users.find(@params["id"])# Get user based on id
>    @memteam = @user.teams           # Get all teams that this user has
joined
>  end
>end
 When I load my page, I got those errors
>NameError in StartController#home
>d:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:100:in
`const_missing'': uninitialized constant Membership
 Does anyone know what happen?
 Thank you.

Arnold.

Your model class name "Memberships" is plural, while the error is that
Rails can''t find the class "Membership". Rails convention is
for the
model class to be singular and the database table to be plural.
