restful design

[macsig]

Hello
I'm trying to follow RESTful design on the application I'm working on right now. And I have a doubt so I would like to know what you guys think about it.


I have 2 models: project and task,where a project has many tasks.

When I create a project I would like to define all the tasks for that project.

My question is where I have to put this action: when I create a project, basically I create several tasks so it should be in project controller or task controller? I guess it is better if it is a project action. So I will have a create action for project but not for task (it is meaningless to create a task if not related to a project).

THANK YOU

As a fellow "beginner", I have read the wisdom that each action should call a single class.
So, your tasks should be constructed in methods of a project class.

Thank you for your reply

Why not have the create method in the project controller accept a task list if provided, but not complain if one isn't available. I think the project controller should accept the tasks, but you should also be able to access them in the nestled route

map.resources :projects, :has_many => :tasks
