If you need a URL in your error message, then this is the proper way, I think. It's not true that UrlWriter "shouldn't really be there" if it's necessary for the functionality you need. Of course, to some extent this is a design flaw of Rails: validations should certainly be handled by the model, but I find myself thinking that error messages should have been in the controller...
