Rails - Sep 2007 - Where would i put a home-made exception class in rails?

I''m a bit unsure about the structure of rails...if i make my own class
for something, eg an exception class extending StandardError, where does
that class live?

thanks
max

The source file should go into the lib/ directory. That directory is
automatically added to $LOAD_PATH by the Rails initialization process.
You can "require" the file in several ways:

1. Use a require statement at the point of need.

2. Add a require statement to config/environment.rb

3. Take advantage of rails'' magic auto-loading gizmo that will
automatically load some_class.rb if you reference SomeClass and it''s
not already defined.

aha - great advice, nice link as well.  There''s stuff in environment 
that i use but don''t really get (never a good situation).

Many thanks!
