So, which scaffolding has been tested with Rails 2 ?

Personally, I just started using ResourceController and it’s a really  
great alternative to scaffolding. It cuts down on all of the  
repetitive code in your controllers and even in your views (provides  
lots of helpers). There might be a generator built-in (don’t know for  
sure), but I actually enjoy building my views now, because most of the  
I usually spend lots of time writing, is done for me! 🙂

Yeah, +1 for the ResourceController.  
I started a project with it and it’s really nice to use.

See

Scaffolding Extensions [1] supports Rails 2.0. Support for CSRF  
protection (enabled by default in 2.0) should be coming along soon.

+1 for ResourceController 😃

Just to clarify - there is a resource scaffold generator (which  
supports haml and/or shoulda if you have them installed); and support  
for lots of wonderful things like polymorphic resources (and helpers  
to make that painless in your views).
