How to get around a reserved word in Rails?

+1 vote
314 views

I need to use the model name 'Action' (which will not work in Rails 4.0.3) for business reasons (it's a product name). If I name the actual model something else, is there any way to (maybe with mod_rewrite) make the URL appear the way I need it to while keeping everything working in Rails?

I've tried using the controller flag in routes.rb to try to fix this, and it seems to work, but causes a lot of problems elsewhere -- basically anything where I use the automatic URLs, like 

 link_to 'Link text', @instance_var

needs to be rewritten to use the long-hand route helper, like this

 link_to 'Link text', action_path(@instance_var)

What am I missing here?

Namespace it? Product::Action for the model and product_action_path(@instance_var) in the routes.
