Rails - Dec 2005 - docs on dynamic methods?

With ActionMailer, you can do:

Mailer::deliver_member_registration

and it sends an email by apparently first calling the member_registration
method. The only
documentation of this I''ve seen is in example code.

I''ve also seen code like Member.find_by_username_and_email - is that a
so-called "dynamic" method
(apparently calling ''find'' with username and email
parameters)? I don''t think I''ve come across
documentation explaining the hows and whys of such methods.

thanks

They both use the method_missing feature of Ruby
