Curious why you would want to define the method that way, are you overriding
the method assignee_name which is already defined in the Assignee class?
If not, then why not define it directly in the model like this:
def assignee_name(assigned_by)
self["assigned_by"]
end
Controller method will be
def do_assignee_cleaning
Assignee.assignee_name(params[:assignee_by])
redirect_to
assignee_cleaning_project_assignees_path(params[:project_id])
end

Thanks for your reply I thought class_eval method would permanently add assignee_name method to Assignee instance object and i can access from other action too.

Thanks.> I thought class_eval method would permanently add assignee_name method to > Assignee instance object and i can access from other action too.I think it will, but only when you execute the class_eval code. Permanent means of course until you restart the server or reload the Assignee class. Since in development mode classes are reloaded at each action request it will not hold from one request to the next, if that is what you are trying to do. Even in production this is a bad thing to do as you never know when a server might get restarted and loose the data. Not to mention the fact that once in production successive actions are not necessarily even run by the same computer. If you want retain information from one action to the next then put it in the session or in the database, or in a hidden field in the intervening view. I think Chirag Singhal''s suggestion is better though unless there is some reason you cannot use it.
