dynamically adding static (class) methods to a class

Hello again,

I guess this is more of a Ruby question, but here goes anyways...

I want to intercept all calls to non existent class methods and then call an existing class method with the non existent name.

In code...

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base

  def MyModel.method_missing(symbol, *args)     MyModel.func(symbol.id2name)   end

  def MyModel.func(func_called)     puts "You called #{func_called}"   end

end

When I try this code, it gets lost in recursion.

Thanks for the help.

Please post to the comp.lang.ruby.

Thank you,

-Conrad

Actually, it turned out to be a Rails problem...

The code I originally wrote below actually works.

The problem was in my real code where I was calling MyModel.find_by_name from within method_missing... which was causing infinite recursion because Rails uses method_missing to implement all the find_by_* methods.
