ActiveRecord & Database Transactions & Rails

[Mark Ellul]

Hi,

I am using Rails with the the activerecord version of the state machine, and I have a simple question.

Basically I have about 3 different state machines getting changed in the same context of a request and I want a ALL or nothing approach. i.e. if something fails in the request (not necessarily in the state machine), I want all objects to return to their previous state.

If I want to use the transaction that Rails uses for each request do I just disable the statemachine's activerecord transactions?

Thanks in Advance

Mark
