I like to leave this to the model where possible - if I *have* to have an associated object (or if I don't want to do loads of guards like "@content_master.metadata.attribute unless @content_master.metadata.nil?") I build/create the associated object after initialise. #content_master model def after_initialize metadata ||= Metadata.new end ... it can cause problems in some cases, but can solve some in others! :-) (a bit of advice gleaned from the "Refactoring: Ruby Edition" book) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
