Hi,
I''m writing this app with inheritance. I''m using the type
column to
store the class name. Another app scans the app and performs actions.
However, it is possible that the second app does not implement a
class, in which case, the superclass should be instantiated. Now I''m
getting:
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.2/lib/
active_record/base.rb:985:in `instantiate_without_callbacks'': The
single-table inheritance mechanism failed to locate the subclass:
''RMC''. This error is raised because the column
''type'' is reserved for
storing the class in case of inheritance. Please rename this column
if you didn''t intend it to be used for storing the inheritance class
or overwrite NmeaSentence.inheritance_column to use another column
for that information. (ActiveRecord::SubclassNotFound)

so basically what I want to do is hook into active record and if it
cannot find a class definition for a table, then the base superclass
should be instantiated.
How do I do that?
