Problem with Using composite_primary_keys with generated scaffolds
Philip Nelson
To get round the "problem" (for RoR) of having composite primary keys in my
legacy database, I've used the gem composite_primary_keys.
However when I access the views generated by the generate/scaffold command it
has a problem. The "list" option works perfectly, but the "edit" and "show"
have problems with the two part key -
no route found to match "/aircraft_history/show/35707,4" with {:method=>:get}
I've had a suggestion that I need to set up "special routes" for these. But
that doesn't sound like a neat solution. Here's the suggestion -
"In your routes.rb file, you should put the following:
map.connect ':controller/:action/:aircraft_id,:aircraft_sequence'"
It would mean I'd have to set up a special route each time I need to call
using a composite key. Isn't there a better way ?
