Rails - Jul 2006 - <model>.update(...) not calling before_update callback.

Hi,

I''m doing a <model_name>.update(....) but I''m noticing
that my
before_update callback is not being called.  If I do a find and then a 
save!, I notice that it is called.  The problem with a find and save in 
my case is that I''m not able to set all my attributes in one shot by 
saving params["user"] and since I can''t do this, my
overloaded equality
def:  user=(...) in my model does not get called which I need to call. 
Any help on either of these methods would be great!.

Thanks.

Any thoughts on this one guys?  How do I reinitialize an already 
initialized model object in my controller in one shot rather than 
manually initializing each attribute?  In other words, I do a find like 
so:

user = User.find(id)
# Now I want to reinitialize the user object by using the
params["user"]
but I''d like to intialize it in a way that calls my model''s
equality
operator to do some sepecial initializations defined as so:

# In my model
def user=(user)
...
end

-----
I need to somehow invoke the after_* and before_* callbacks and these 
apparently don''t get invoked if I do an update like so: 
user.update(....).  It seems like I must do a user.save! to invoke them.

Thanks,

Saureen.
