Hello Rick and thanks for answering,
I'm feeling rather muddled. In my brief ROR history I've been working
under the assumption that naming conventions called for controllers to
be in the singular. Of course I'm finding out that much has been
deprecated. So would you please confirm that controller names are
supposed to be plural.
Regarding @responder = Responder.new(params[:responder])
Since models and tables are "routeless", I'm not clear why routing
should be an issue here. And I thought that if the params hash is
empty, I will get an empty @responder object which is what I expect in
this case.
I appreciate any further help you can offer.
Cheers, Bill
