Hi, I have the following scenario for my "models": Products can have many different Formats and an attribute for their association relationship is "price". So formats_products join table has the following fields: product_id, format_id, price Now, when I have a shopping cart, I would like to associate the shopping cart to the join table of formats_products, since only a unique combination of format_id and product_id can determine the price. How do I do this elegantly in Rails, since formats_products table cannot have an id field for each record? I understand that I can use raw sql to find a solution to this problem, but I was wondering if Rails already offers something elegant for this scenario.

Hello I''am new to ruby.i developed a simple questionnaire application with ruby on rails.i need to integrate this to an already existing portal.The portal is based on jetspeed.Do i need to use jruby? Is there a way to convert the ruby scripts to exe?When i tried to convert the ruby application to exe ,i received a mesage sayin the init.rb file was missing?what does that imply?Please help me out. Thanks and regards Ramya

Hi, I think running RoR as a channel inside Jetspeed with JRuby would be a hell of a mess to keep working right. I trust you''ll go quite insane. I am currently looking at doing a similar thing with WebSphere portal, so I''ve concocted a few ideas on this based on my past experience doing similar things with uPortal: 1. Use a "screen scraper" portlet that simply hits your RoR web app, grabs the HTML, and then re-renders it in the channel. Basically the portal acts like a proxy. If you use CSS based layout and keep your HTML super thin, then this can really compete on performance and simplicity with the other methods below. 2. Write your RoR web app so it''s nothing more than a web service (RoR has great support for this). Then on the portlet side you are simply writing the GUI. I don''t like this since one of the main attractions of RoR is the GUI side of things. 3. Use an iframe for the portlet''s contents that simply points at the RoR web application. This is the super easy way and probably the fastest method. 4. Write a portlet that "summarizes" the RoR apps main interface, and then launches to the main RoR app when they click on something. This is my personal favorite since it looks like the app is in the portal, but then you don''t have to deal with the crap of doing portlet integration with something else. The summary data is a perfect candidate for doing a web service. With all of these solutions you''ll run into a problem with authentication. The user will log into the portal, but you''ll need a way to log them into the RoR app. This is really hard even with a web service based backend since most portals try to be smarter than you and keep the user''s authentication credentials a secret thus preventing you from sending them on to the backend app. It gets more horrendous as you begin to log into apps that have their own user database. There''s a couple ways to solve this: * Yale CAS -- http://jasigch.princeton.edu:9000/display/CAS/Yale+CAS +Server It let''s auth people off their web browser using cookies and kerberos. I''m not sure if there''s a ruby binding though, and this means setting up extra infrastructure, but it is damn secure. * Straight Kerberos -- If you''re doing a web service you might be able to just pull off GSS or Kerberos authentication. * CryptoWallet -- http://www.zedshaw.com/writings/CryptoWallet/ A shameless plug, but I wrote this years ago for a portal project. It probably would need some updating, but it would let you store application credentials that the portal can use to log into the backend app. The main advantage of CW is that you don''t need to setup anything other than some diskspace and then fill it with IDs. It uses standard java crypto for everything and is as secure as I can make it. * Other "Wallet" Systems -- There''s other systems built into some portals similar to CW. Not sure if JetSpeed has any though. Anyway, let me know what you end up doing.

Hi,
I have received no response to my question in the mailing list, or irc chat
or from an expert I wrote to directly. Perhaps, I did not explain my
scenario properly.
I need to describe a many-to-many association from a table X to an existing
join table Y_Z that already describes a many-to-many association for tables
Y and Z. I am wondering if Rails has an elegant solution for this scenario.
I know I can manage a solution using custom SQL code.
Real life scenario below...
Table "products" Table "formats"
Table "formats_products"
---------------------------------- ----------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
| id | name | description| | id | name | description| |
product_id | format_id | price |
---------------------------------- ----------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
Table "carts" Need a M:N join table
"carts_formats_products"
---------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| id | customer_id | | cart_id | ?????
|
---------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I need to know if Rails provides a way to define M:N relationship between
(shopping) carts and formats_products table since the price of each product
is determined by the unique combination of product_id and format_id and each
record in the table formats_products needs to have a has_and_belongs_to_many
relationship with shopping_carts.
Now, again, how do I create something like a "carts_formats_products"
(hypothetical name) join table and use Rails to describe the
has_and_belongs_to_many relationship?
I''d be grateful for suggestions on different approaches to solving this
problem.
Thanks,
Pb

What you do is to reveal the missing domain model, which could be Purchase. class Purchase < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :product_id belongs_to :format belongs_to :cart def price # calculate or retrieve from db end end M-M relationships are already pushing the border of a missing domain model in their base state. Once you start to complicate matters by adding N-way joins and attributes, you''re definitely in need of another domain model. -- David Heinemeier Hansson, http://www.basecamphq.com/ -- Web-based Project Management http://www.rubyonrails.org/ -- Web-application framework for Ruby http://www.loudthinking.com/ -- Broadcasting Brain

RE: describing associations on a join table
Pranav, I would look at adding a id to the formats_products table - lets say "formats_products_id" and then you have a standard join between card_id and formats_products_id. This method would probably be a little more future proof because I would imagine that it could be conceivable that you might vary your pricing by other factors other then product_id and format_id (such as high volume customers, sales, etc, etc) and if you explicitly put the product_id and format_id in the new join table it might be more difficult to make any changes in the future... This would also require minimal changes to the existing schema you have - the new "formats_products_id" would be just a "autoincrement" type field.
