I suspect there is a standard way to handle this issue but I haven't found it.
In my controller create action I have a Transaction. Lets say I'm creating a user object here. def new User.transaction do @user = User.new(params[:user]) #do some stuff set success if no rollback end if success goto success page else render :action => :new end end Now the problem here is when new is rendered @user has an id and it treats it as an edit instead of a new. I could do a the following in the fail block @user = User.new(params[:user]) render :action => :new but the errors are lost (and any changes or associations i created) Or I could nil out the id @user.id = nil render :action => :new It would be nice if the rollback did this for me (sort of like Object Transactions used to but without wiping out the errors and other information)? In my case User has many addresses and many orders so I also need to check and nil their IDs. yuck. What's the best practice here?
