Rails - Dec 2006 - Active Resource basics

Assuming I have models that look like these:

class Job < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :locations
end

class Location < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :job
end

I have routes that look like this:

map.resources :job do |job|
  job.resources :location
end

I''m exposing these model using ActiveResource like this:

class Job < MyLocalResource
end

class Location < MyLocalResource
  site += ''/job/:job_id''
end

How would I run a method on job, (like submitting the job to queue of
some sort) after I create location?  Am I approaching this from the
wrong direction?  Should I create an observer on the job model?

Active Resource doesn''t reflect the associations in your models, but
you
can, for example:

# Location
  def job
    @job ||= Job.find(job_id)
  end

# Job
  def enqueue
    connection.post("#{element_path(id)};enqueue")
  end

Then location.job.enqueue! to submit the location''s job to a queue.
