Rails - Feb 2007 - namespaces in subclasses

I have several modules that I store in rails_root/lib and that are
used by my controllers.  I''m having a problem accessing AR objects
from inside a class that is a subclass.  I keep getting a NameError
when trying to do something like Foo.find(), where Foo is an AR
object.

uninitialized constant
OpenTransact::Gateway::Request::CreditCardCharge::PaymentAccount
(NameError)

For some reason the namespace has changed inside my class instance (an
instance of CreditCardCharge) so that the AR object PaymentAccount is
no longer there.  If I access PaymentAccount from a class instance
that is not a subclass, it works fine.  What am I missing?

Hey there,

Only thing that come''s to mind is that the object your trying to
access hasn''t been ''require''-ed, hence the
''unitialized constant''
error.  You might want to try the debugger <http://www.datanoise.com/
ruby-debug> and step into the code to see where the error occurs.
Once you step through the code I''m sure you''ll have an ah-ha
moment
where the error will make sense.  I hope you find something that will
let you work around the problem.  I haven''t tried namespaced models,
so not sure if you''ll find a fix.
