RoR Folk,
So, here''s some logic I''ve got buried away in a Controller:
def do_login
if !(session[:profile] = Profile.find_by_foo_and_bar(x, y)
flash[:message] = ''Unable to login...''
redirect_to :controller => ''profile'', :action =>
''display_create''
else
redirect_to :controller => ''profile'', :action =>
''display_edit''
end
end
Two questions:
1. I''m using the flash here - which works good and well, but
I''m
wondering what the canonical way of moving errors up from the controller
layer is (when they''re not nicely rolled up into a model for you).
In the aforementioned case, let''s say I need to report three errors to
the view...I was considering just building an errors array, much like
what you find in ActiveRecord instances, and just bubbling that up via
@errors. Can someone give me some bearings?
2. If anyone would like to layout any idioms re: the above method
implementaiton - I''d certainly welcome them. I don''t know
enough about
Ruby yet to know when I''m being unnecessarily verbose.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Sorry for the pseudo-repost, maybe I didn''t do a good enough job
explaining it the first time around or maybe I''m an island unto myself
;)
So - simplified this time around:
Given the following method:
def do_login
if Account.find_some_account(foo, bar)
redirect_to :controller => ''xxx''
else
#### I''d like to inform the user here that we''ve had an
issue...
#### I could just use flash, but I''m wondering what I should do
#### if I want to report back multiple errors...is it considered
#### bad-form to return an @errors array from the controller tier?
redirect_to :controller => ''xxx'', :action =>
''display_create''
end
end
Thanks for any help! Interesting to see how quickly this list moves!
