Sorry about above.  The post should be:

I want to use logical models to aggregate data to present information
to the user.  For example, I might have a controller that looks like
the following:

class OrdersController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @order = Order.new
    @address = Address.new
  end
end

What I would prefer to have is:

class OrdersController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @logical_order = LogicalOrder.new
  end
end

Logical Order would look like (NOT and ActiveRecord model):

class LogicalOrder
  def order
     @order ||= Order.new
  end

  def address
    @address ||= Address.new
  end

  def save
     address_saved = address.save
     order_saved = order.save
    address_saved && order_saved
  end
end

I have simplified this.  There is an initialize and method_missing
method in order to hook it all up correctly.

My question is this.  In this save method, it is not wrapped in a
transaction block, like I would like.  Since this model is not an
active record model, how can I implement the save method such that it
is wrapped in a transaction.  I have thought about pushing the save
logic back into one of the active record models (like the Order
model), but I would prefer to do it within this class.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Andrew
