Rails - Aug 2006 - Reload instance data on instantiate

I''m working on a website which interacts with Amazon web services.

I have an Item class which is a cache for amazon items. I''d like to
have the class instances to refresh data every day (Time.now -
item.last_updated > 1.day) but not sure how.

I''ve tried with

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  # ...

  private
    def instantiate(record)
      super

      refresh_data!
      logger.info "refresh test"
    end
end

but nothing happens.

Any ideas on this? Is ''instantiate'' the method I''m
looking for?

Thanks,
  Koke

try "initialize" and I believe it needs to be public. initialize is
called my MyClass.new
