Hello guys,

Need help!! Finding it hard to model the 'model' :P within the given
rails associations.

In java terms, my requirements are...

There are 3 entities - module, chapter and activity.

Chapter entity is a specilization of Module entity (inheritence)
Activity entity is a specialization of Module entity (inheritence)
And the tables would have looked like:
1. Module table = Module_Id, Entity_type, ....
2. Chapter = Chapter_id, .....
3. Activity = Activity_id, ......

Hence, if I create a chapter then the tables would be populated as:
Module table = Module_Id, Entity_type, .... = values ( 100,
chapter , .... )
Chapter table = chapter_id, ..... = values ( 100, .... )
Basically, the ids of chapter and module would be same and module
table would store the type.

Now, if I create a activity then the tables would be populated as:
Module table = Module_Id, Entity_type, .... = values ( 101,
activity , .... )
Activity table = activity_id, ..... = values ( 100, .... )
Basically, the ids of activity and module would be same and module
table would store the type.

Can you please guide me how I can model it similarly in rails 2.3.2?

Thanks in advance
