Rails - Jun 2005 - How do I get a component to see its model?

I''m making a component called "feedback" which is simply a
model,
view and controller to gather feedback and send it as an email to the  
site''s administrator.

However, when the form is posted back and the model is referenced, it  
seems unable to find the model class:

uninitialized constant Contact

My directory structure looks like this:
components/
     feedback/
         contact.rb
         contact_controller.rb
         contact/
             index.rhtml

Here''s the controller:
class Feedback::ContactController < ApplicationController
   def index; ...[snipped]...; end

   def send_mail
     Contact.deliver_feedback(...[snipped]...)
   end
end

And the model:
class Feedback::Contact < ActionMailer::Base
   def feedback(from, subject, body)
     ...[snipped]...
   end
end

Documentation on components seems scant... does anyone know what I  
might be doing wrong here?  I''m using Rails 12.1 for this project.

Thank-you,
Duane Johnson

It turns out that you should not put the module prefix in front of  
the model class.  The video shows this to be the case, but the manual  
says otherwise.  Here''s what fixed it:

class Contact < ActionMailer::Base
   def feedback(from, subject, body)
     ...[snipped]...
   end
end
