Heh, I would be interested in this as well! Maybe you should post this question to the datamapper group as well?
I think that generally relying on #class is the safest bet for #resource to do it's job. Since (some of) the Proxy's job is to pretend to be something else anyway, and it already overrides #kind_of? maybe it's possible to override #class as well. But maybe there's a reason that they haven't done so yet. I really think this should be posted to http://groups.google.com/group/datamapper as well! cheers snusnu On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 1:28 AM, phatmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > One additional point.
