Let's say I have an invoice class that has many items related to it. How can I make sure that after the invoice is saved no items can be added or deleted from the invoice?

If your login succeeds, I think it simply does something like a flash[:message] onto the front page to say "login successful". If I wanted to do this in Rails, would...
Recently I switched from fixtures to factory_girl to test my Ruby on Rails application. If I run rake test:units, to run the tests in my /units directory, they all run perfectly. The same is true if I run my functional tests (in my /functional directory) with rake test:functionals. However, if I simply run rake test, to run both my unit...

In a Rails app, I have foreign key constraints in MySQL which I set them all up manually, separate from my migrations. I'm trying to figure out whether I should use ActiveRecord's :dependent => :destroy option.
