Namespacing conventions

I compared the output from ``rake routes'' for each solution below, and they both produce the exact same routes. Is one solution preferred over the over?

# Solution #1: map.resource :account do |account|    account.resources :properties, :controller => 'account/properties'    account.resources :photos, :controller => 'account/photos' end

# Solution #2: map.resource :account map.namespace :account do |account|    account.resources :photos    account.resources :properties end

Cheers, Nick

I guess you have the answer in your question... You don't need the controller part so it would look like this:

map.resource :account do |account|    account.resources :properties    account.resources :photos end

Hi Freddy. Leaving out the :controller part results in the properties and photos nested resources using their non-namespaced controllers: http://rafb.net/p/lODGyE45.html
