Re: [PhillyOnRails] RESTful controller overloading

You could use Single Table Inheritance by creating model classes for
Student, Teacher, and Administrator which all inherit from the Person
class. By default, Active Record will use a field called "type" in the
"people" table to store the name of the class the person belongs to.
And, like much of AR, the rest just works magically.
Then your routes can be setup like any other resource.
