Hello,  
'm new to Rails…  
'm using Agile Web D. with Rails as a reference book.

I have a table named products and a model named product

I used following code in a controller admin

class AdminController \< ApplicationController  
scaffold :product  
end

when I start server and navigate to the url [http://localhost:3000/admin](http://localhost:3000/admin),  
I get follow error…

NoMethodError in AdminController#index

undefined method `scaffold’ for AdminController:Class

this means I 've not defined an INDEX Method in controller… but the  
book doesnt say anything regarding this…  
Does that mean “scaffold” handles everything?

Any clue to this problem???

Thanks 🙂
