Rails - Jun 2006 - Adding routes via plugins

Hi,

I''m attempting to add a  route via a plugin.  I attempted to add the
following to my init.rb:

myroute = ActionController::Routing::Routes.connect "boo2",
:controller=>''plugin'',
:action=>''index''
puts "path=#{myroute.path}"
myroute.options.keys.each do |k| 
  puts "#{k}=#{myroute.options[k]}" 
end

The newly created route is coming back to me in my "myroute" varaible.
And I validate that the path and options are set.  However the route does not
work.

Is there anything special I need to do to "activate" the route?

Thanks in advance.  scott.

My understanding is that the routes get set up after the plugins get  
loaded, so setting them in a plugin just gets over ridden by the defaults.

There may be a hack around this, but I think for the most part the best  
solution is to add it manually ATM.
