Rails - Jan 2007 - Dynamically control Model.Save to use ActiveRecord or ActionWebService

I have "requirement" to support a short term approach using 
ActiveRecord.Save, but eventually migrate to a SOA environment.  
Hence, I need to short-term with ActiveRecord and long-term with 
ActionWebvService.

Right now, I''ve got a Controller that looks like

class OfferRenewalController < ApplicationController
def handle_payment

    # Receive the ContractPayment "form fields" into an object
    @contract_payment = ContractPayment.new(params[:contract_payment])
    if (@contract_payment.valid?)

      @contract_payment.save

    else

      # @contract_payment.errors.each_full { |msg| puts msg }
      render :action => ''take_payment'', :id =>
@contract_payment
    end

  end # handle_payment

class ContractPayment < ActiveRecord::Base
end

And this works great for the short-term.  How do I override the built-
in save method and conditonally use the "normal"ActiveRecord .save vs.
invoke some other WebService.  I tried a dozen things and just 
confused the hell out of myself.  I would really appreciate a code 
example with some explanation.

Thanks,
Jason
