has many - Active Record

I would like to know which "has_many" associations my ActiveRecord model has.

Example, given this model:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base     has_many :comments end

I need a method that does this:

@associations = Post.has_many_associations

@association.each do |a|   puts a # should print "comments" end

Can you help me ? This method exists ? Is it possible ? Thanks

not perfect yet, but there is something like this...:

Post.reflect_on_association :comments

..that returns a boolean...

Not perfect yet..but helps...

It should be returning a reflection object. see also the reflections method and reflect_on_all_associations
