Rails - Jan 2009 - Finding a nested resource's 'parent' object?

Say I have this setup:

class Ticket < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :project
end

map.resources :projects do |p|
  p.resources :tickets
end

How would I go about programatically figuring out that Ticket is
nested under Project?

Future reference:

    def get_parent_resource(target_klass, path)
      # Convert the requested path into hash form
      hash = ActionController::Routing::Routes.recognize_path
(path, :method => :get)

      # Loop through path keys and see if any end in ''_id'' and
our kid
class belongs_to the associated AR Class
      pair = hash.detect{|k, v| k.to_s.ends_with?("_id") &&
target_klass.columns_hash.has_key?(k.to_s)}

      # Load up the AR class based on the matching path pair
      klass = pair[0].to_s[0...-3].classify.constantize

      # Find and return the target parent object
      klass.find(pair[1])
    end


I''m sure it doesn''t work in all cases, but I think it gets
pretty
close.
