If you need both property_one and property_two to be set before you apply the changes to the underlying native resource, then you'd want the setters to store the new values: def property_one=(value) @one = value end def property_two=(value) @two = value end and implement a `flush` method to update the resource with all of the new values. def flush # save resource using @one & @two end Josh -- Josh Cooper Developer, Puppet Labs *Join us at **PuppetConf 2015, October 5-9 in Portland, OR - * http://2015.puppetconf.com. *Register early to save 40%!* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
