[Catalyst] Models and inflating

Hi,
I'm still a bit confused about how models using DBIx::Class should work
in a catalyst application.
Is it the case that classes placed in the Model-directory will somehow
(magically?) let me have objects inflated as instances of the class
using a similarly named Schema?
For example, I have this class:
package TestApp::Model::Foo::User;
use strict;
sub full_name {
my ( $self ) = @_;
return $self->first_name() . q{ } . $self->last_name();
}
1;
Objects created by $c->model('Foo::User') *will* work. Ie. they have the
methods full_name(), first_name() and last_name().
It looks a bit weird to me, but it seems to work. Should it work?
I also have another application A which has a more complex setup.
Application A also works. OTOH, application B, which is very similar to
application A, does *not* work. I get an error message saying "Can't
locate object method "inflate_result" via package B::Model::DB::Snafu.
Can't really paste the code here, but I'd like some pointers where to
look for the cause of the error. Should it work at all, or do TestApp
and A work through some weird lucky bug?
Cheers,
Alex
