Says who? I tend to start with HABTM and refactor to has_many :through if necessary. > The has_many :trough is more flexible, > and often more RESTful. More flexible, yes. But it's not the Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work [TM] in this case. HABTM is a special simplified case. If your data fits the special case, it makes sense to take advantage of it. As for REST, that's a routing issue, not an associations issue. Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org [email protected] -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
