I see something like this: require "ostruct" class OptionsWrapper < OpenStruct undef :id, :class def [](key) send(key) end def []=(key, value) send("#{key}=", value) end def method_missing(method, *args, &block) return @table.include?(method) ? @table.send(method) : nil if %w(id class).include?(method.to_s) @table.respond_to?(method) ? @table.send(method, *args, &block) : super end end I know OpenStruct is a class part of standard ruby library allowing you to arbitrarily create methods on an object instance. I know that undef allows you to set a method to nil. But I dont see why it is needed in this case. thanks for response -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

id and class are built-in ruby methods that are present on all object instances. Rails uses them in a different manner than the default Ruby implementation. They are undefined so that they can be picked up by the method_missingmethod. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
