STI support is still under construction, so you may hit some rough spots. That said, there are some ways to clean up the associations you've got. See below.

This allows Address records to be reused for multiple Shipments, *and* avoids the complications that polymorphic associations bring. It would look like: class Shipment < ActiveRecord::Base ... belongs_to :physical_address ...etc end class PhysicalAddress < Address has_many :shipments end --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
