Rails core - Nov 2007 - Serialization of ActiveRecord Instances: No Inheritance Column?

Hey,

I have been looking at ActiveRecord''s serialization code, and noticed
that ActiveRecord::XmlSerializer#serializable_attributes purposely
excludes the STI inheritance column per ``options[:except]
Array(options[:except]) |
Array(@record.class.inheritance_column).''''
Is there a particular reason for this? Would anyone be opposed to my
writing a patch to have this attribute be included?

Cheers,

Matt

The type is not part of the attributes. The type should be used as the
encapsulating tag. So if you have type=SpecialProduct, you''ll get
<special-product><attributes/>.. That''s by design. Why do
you want it
included?
