Thanks Freddy, So rails doesn't support association inheritance, I know what you mean, but I don't like to put the sub-model association into user model,
because i have about 10 sub-models like credit_card in Account, I found a plugin called "has_many_polymorphs", this plugin allow you access all the association between two parent model. One other question, if I want to use one controller to create all the sub models, how could i write all the controller actions?
