Brian, Thank you for your very nice over-view of using REST.
However, I think it also demonstrates one of the problems with the Rails' REST system. It simplifies things when you have a straight-forward requirement, but complicates them if you need to do something outside that model. For example, how do you handle a situation where you need to allow a user to modify multiple instances of an object within a single list view? Do you really want your user to go through a complete 'list, edit, update, list' sequence twenty times to change one field on each of twenty items? Far better I believe to present a single list of the twenty items and let them submit the changes to all twenty in one form submission. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
