Hi all,

Does anyone know if the new nested object forms in Rails 2.3 supports  
transactions on save? ([http://guides.rubyonrails.org/](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/)  
2\_3\_release\_notes.html#nested-object-forms)

Supposing you had a form that let users of an app create an account  
and the admin user account in the same screen, nested object forms  
seem like a good fit. However, creating the customer account and the  
user need to be done as a transaction (you wouldn’t want a customer  
without an admin user or vice versa).

How is this handled? Is this the default? Does it need to be  
implemented in a :reject\_if proc?

Thanks!
