Rails - Aug 2006 - Transactions within the Controller

Hi,

I have 2 models, how can I save both of them in one transaction?   

I want to do something like this:

begin transaction
    project.save
    person.save
end transaction

The only examples I''ve seen is with saving 2 instances of the same
model in a transaction.

thanks

scott.

Scott,

Assuming Person model is dependent on Project model, in my controller action
I do this

begin
  if project.save

    if person.save
      #do something
    end

  else

  end
rescue StandardError
end

OR

In Project model you can do something like this ...... in my code below
image is a dependent child of incident substitute person and project
according to your needs.

after_create{|incident|
incident.image.incident_id = incident.incidentid
incident.image.app_login_modification = incident.image.app_login_creation
incident.app_login_creation
incident.image.creation_dt = incident.image.modification_dt incident.creation_dt
incident.image.save
}

hope this helps
