Rails - Mar 2007 - How to share a collection of model files across many apps?

Hi,

I''ve got three files that (a.rb, b.rb, c.rb) that currently live in
app/models.
I''d like these models to shared by multiple rails apps. These models
are
associated with a separate database.

My rails projects are contained in a directory that looks like this:

projects/

proj1/ proj2/ proj3/ common/


common/
 a.rb b.rb c.rb


My idea is to do this:

In proj1/lib/, symlink to ../../common/

lib/
  common/   (which is a symlink)


My question is:
How do I tell rails to load the files pointed to by the symlink named
''common'' in the lib directory?


I''ve tried:

cofig/environment.rb

include ''lib/common''

Thanks for your input.
EB

Are they not loading just by virtue of being in lib? I dunno. If not, then
you should be able to modify that little piece of the environment.rb that
says

  # config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/extras )

to suit your needs. I''d hope.
