Real Dumb Newbie Q: Saving multiple data sets from one form

Rails
1

Hi,
I have a couple of tables, Jobs and Addresses with a HABTM relationship
through Jobs_Addresses and I have a model and controller for both jobs
and addresses. What would be the best way to code a create method to
save the two data sets? I tried;

def create
@job = Job.new(params[:job])
@address = Address.new(params[:address])
if @job.save && @address.save
flash[:notice] = ‘Job was successfully created.’
redirect_to :action => ‘list’
else
render :action => ‘new’
end
end

Which resulted in;

NoMethodError in Job#create

undefined method `address’ for #Job:0x3912190

Request

Parameters: {“commit”=>“Save Job Data”, “job”=>{“job_number”=>“1984”,
“closed”=>“false”, “job_phase_id”=>“1”, “job_type_id”=>“1”},
“address”=>{“country”=>“Australia”, “suburb”=>“Spanish Harlem”,
“address_1”=>“Level 42”, “address_2”=>“77, Sunset Strip”,
“state”=>“Confused”}}

So all the data is there I just don’t know how to split the save to two
tables.

Sorry it’s such a dumb question. Help much appreciated
Kind Regards,
Eric.

def create
@job = Job.new(params[:job])
@address = Address.new(params[:address])
@job.address << @address

Then save the objects

end

This could probably be rewritten using the .create method (which
instantiates an object and saves it right away).
