Rails does not control the namespace. User is defined when user.rb is evaluated. Autoloading finds user.rb if the User constant is unknown, and admin/user.rb if Admin::User is unknown, but namespace usage is up to the application.
In my view, namespacing is something code meant to be shared should do, like a gem. Code not mean to be shared does not need it generally speaking in my opinion. In the rare event of a constant clash because a gem does not use a namespace then you can workaround that particular situation, but I personally wouldn't recommend apps to be namespaced as a standard practice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
