Associated object is not set correctly after creating with belongs_to and has_one associations

Hey,

I've got 2 models: User and Account::Website that look like this:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base   has_one :website_account, :class_name => "Account::Website", :dependent => :destroy end

class Account::Website < ActiveRecord::Base   belongs_to :user, :touch => true

  before_validation :assign_new_user, :if => :user_missing?

  protected

  def assign_new_user     self.user = User.new   end

  def user_missing?     user.blank?   end end

The problem is with the following code:

website_account = Account::Website.new website_account.save website_account.user => returns persisted User object website_account.user.website_account => nil

If I reload the user object, then it correctly returns website account, but shouldn't it be set automatically by Rails?

Cheers, Szymon
