Without an identity map this is very difficult to fix. The correct fix for this bug would require full bi-directional has_many and belongs/to associations, and could take a bit of work. If someone wants to investigate this, I'd be happy to lend a helping hand. On the other hand, there are some other changes brewing in that area now, so perhaps it's worth waiting a bit? -- Cheers Koz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
