Rails - Mar 2006 - Strange error: undefined method `rewrite''

Hi,

when I generate a new rails project with a simple scaffolded controller,
I get a strange error message, whenever it tries to call the url_for
method, for example:

,----
| undefined method `rewrite'' for #<Url:0xb7675e64>
| 
| Extracted source (around line #7):
| 
| 4: </p>
| 5: <% end %>
| 6: 
| 7: <%= link_to ''Edit'', :action =>
''edit'', :id => @url %> |
| 8: <%= link_to ''Back'', :action =>
''list'' %>
`----

,----
|
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1501:in
`method_missing''
|
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.11.2/lib/action_controller/base.rb:448:in
`url_for''
|
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.11.2/lib/action_view/helpers/url_helper.rb:18:in
`url_for''
|
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.11.2/lib/action_view/helpers/url_helper.rb:49:in
`link_to''
| #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/urls/show.rhtml:7
`----

I looked at the source and found out that the error originates from the
following code:

,----
|       def url_for(options = {}, *parameters_for_method_reference) #:doc:
|         case options
|           when String then options
|           when Symbol then send(options, *parameters_for_method_reference)
|           when Hash   then @url.rewrite(rewrite_options(options))
|         end
|       end
`----

Where is this ''rewrite'' method supposed to be and why
can''t it be found?

You can''t use Url as a model name.

Thank you for the explanation, this error was driving me crazy! :-)

BTW, what''s wrong with the model name Url? Are there other
"forbidden"
model names?
