Rails - Feb 2008 - single inheritance 2 models OK, but what about the controller ?

Hey

I am using a single inherance table  :

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

class Member < User

I would like to use only ONE controller

accessing    GET  /members.xml  should be equivalent to  GET /
users.xml

should I have a member_controller and redirect all CRUDs to the
equivalent action in users ?

or is there any trick ..

thanks
erwin

I was about to ask the same question, and saw yours at the top.

I have the same setup

table: animals

class Animal < ActiveRecord::Base
end

class Dog < Animal
end

class Cat < Animal
end

I just want to know how and pros and cons of using 1 controller / 1
view for each action, or a controller and set of views for each
subclass.

You should be able to define a new members_controller like this:

class MembersController < UsersController; end

It should get all the methods from UsersController. Not sure if it''ll
do the
routing though, but I think it''s worth a shot.
