> Also, I'd just like Rails Models to act like normal Ruby Objects. It would be pretty weird to make attr_accessor methods private in a normal Ruby object, since the writer method could never be called except with a self.send. If some field was meant to be private, you'd probably just use the instance variables directly and not have reader or writer methods at all.
It seems like the closest analog in Active Record would be to not define reader and writer methods for the attribute, only exposing it via read_attribute and write_attribute (and [] and []=). -hume. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
