Rails - May 2007 - non-ActiveRecord models

Hi All,

I am wondering about few thing regarding the RoR models:

* Is there any requirement for the models to be inherited from
ActiveRecord?
* Is it possible to have a model which is not ActiveRecord based?
* How Rails will react if it finds such files under /app/models?

You help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes.

Just fine.  You obviously won''t get all the AR goodness, but otherwise 
Rails doesn''t care.  We have several that aren''t AR based and
they work
just fine for what we want to do (interface with some CLI apps, etc.)
