Rails - Mar 2008 - has_and_belongs_to_many DRY ?

Hi,

I have many "has_and_belongs_to_many" that looks nearly the same, I
wonder if I can do anything so I DRY myself? maybe write a plugin? What
do you think?

The lines look like this.

  has_and_belongs_to_many :snippets,
                          :class_name =>
''Container::Snippet'',
                          :conditions => [ "containers.reference_type
''Layout'' AND containers.container_type =
''Snippet''" ]
                          :join_table => :containers,
                          :foreign_key => :reference_id,
                          :association_foreign_key => :container_id

  has_and_belongs_to_many :modules,
                          :class_name =>
''Container::Module'',
                          :conditions => [ "containers.reference_type
''Layout'' AND containers.container_type =
''Module''" ]
                          :join_table => :containers,
                          :foreign_key => :reference_id,
                          :association_foreign_key => :container_id

  has_and_belongs_to_many :texts,
                          :class_name => ''Container::Text'',
                          :conditions => [ "containers.reference_type
''Layout'' AND containers.container_type =
''Text''" ]
                          :join_table => :containers,
                          :foreign_key => :reference_id,
                          :association_foreign_key => :container_id

Hope someone have a solution, thanks for help :)

Jamal
