[ruboss-framework] Re: Has one association and transactions

Hi Renato,

It is indeed possible to save multiple related models at once. Here's  
what you have to do currently:

// this will produce a recursively marshalled representation of the  
model (with HasOne and HasMany relationships nested)
var marshalled:XML = Ruboss.serializers.xml.marshall(model, true);

Ruboss.http({onResult: onResultHandler, contentType: "application/ 
xml"}).invoke({URL: "/whatever/is/appropriate.fxml", data: marshalled,  
method = "POST", cacheBy: "create"});

See 
http://dima.github.com/ruboss_framework/org/ruboss/controllers/AuxHTTPController.html
 
  for details on Ruboss.http().invoke() options.

It's a bit more work than just <model>.create(). Recursive creates/ 
updates are likely to be more streamlined in the next release. For  
now, you have to marshall recursively and use Ruboss.http.

Of course, your Rails controller need to know what to do with nested  
data. Check out mass-assignment for one option:
