Hi, I''ve started reading some Java books. Gasp! What makes website development with Java so bad? I haven''t looked at Struts but I''m reading about Hibernate.

I know that these are things that you can do in ActiveRecord when things get complicated

Does someone have an actual example of this? I saw DHH''s slides where he said that you could have your app automatically respond with HTML, XML, atom, whatever. So far I''ve found tons of discussion on REST and CRUD in Rails, but I haven''t seen anything that actually shows me what it all is. There''s simply_restful, which apparently makes things easier...I

Hi, I am having a problem saving a new model that has an associated child model. If a new ticket is being created and will have one comment to go with it then I tried this in my action @ticket = Ticket.new(params[:ticket]) @comment = Comment.new(params[:comment]) @ticket.comments << @comment if @ticket.save @notice = "Ticket added.

Hi, A store front a customer wants to GET /product/5/show. But for the application this is really GET /cart_item/new/5 or even better /cart_item/new?cart_item[product_id]=5 When the customer clicks add_to_cart they POST /product/5/show so that the url doesn''t confuse the user when any validation errors occur. But for the applicaiton this should be POST

For those that missed out joining the amazing turnout of ~70 people here in Vancouver for the mini-workshop I did on the 27th last month, I am making available the 30 slides I used for the presentation. The slides were used in conjunction with me demonstrating it via command line. Alot was learned by both attendees, and quite possibly even more so by myself while teaching the material. I created

Hi, I''ve read the Agile Rails book''s chapter on ActionMailer a few times. Seems pretty straight forward. Unfortunately I can''t get my application to actually send mail. I uploaded my application to the web server and tried to get a mail message sent. Nothing happened. I looked in the log file and it says Sent mail: From: service@freedomkilts.com To:

Hi, I am changing a very standard old school website to rails. When I make the change to rails, all of the old urls will not be valid. If a person has a bookmark to an old web page I would like them to be directed to the front page of the new website www.domain.com. How do I do this? Do I do something in routes.rb? Thanks, Peter

Hi, I''ve been confused about the purpose of _marker in dragdrop.js for quite a while. It doesn''t really look like it does anything with ghosting on or off. I removed the mark method and didn''t discover any problems. Is all the mark business a relic from some past idea? Thanks, Peter
