Rails - Aug 2008 - Validation doesn't work (ActiveRecord::BaseWithoutTable)

Hi,

I understand that the active_record_base_without_table is supposed to be
an easy install. So I am not sure why the validation doesn''t work out
of
the box (base_without_table.rb attached).  No valdn error msgs and it
takes all values.
Am I missing any steps?

I am creating a change password page where it compares old_password with
the stored password in the database. And then user can change it.

View simply has :old_password, :new_password, and
:new_password_confirmation

The Password controller:
------------------------
class PasswordsController < ApplicationController

  layout ''base''

  before_filter :load_user
  before_filter :check_auth

  def new
    @password = Password.new

     respond_to do |format|
      format.html #new.html.erb
     end
  end

  def change
    puts params
    if !params[:password][:old_password].blank? or
!params[:password][:new_password].blank?
      @old_password = params[:password][:old_password]
      @new_password = params[:password][:new_password]
      @encrypted_original = @user.encrypted_password
      if !@user.compare_password(@encrypted_original, @old_password)
        flash[:notice] = ''Sorry, we could not find your old password in
our database. Please enter the old password again''
      else
        @user.encrypted_password Standards.encrypt_a_code(@new_password)
        @user.save(perform_validations=false)
        flash[:notice] = ''Your new password has been saved''
      end
    end
    redirect_to :action => ''new''
    end
end


The Password model:
-------------------
class Password < ActiveRecord::BaseWithoutTable
  column :old_password, :string
  column :new_password, :string

  validates_presence_of :old_password

  attr_accessor :old_password, :new_password, :new_password_confirmation

  validates_confirmation_of :new_password, :message => "New password
should match confirmation"
  validates_length_of :old_password, :new_password, :minimum => 6

end

The validations will be run when you call .save on your instance of
Password:

@password.save
