Subject: Distributed Ruby method_missing NameError == boo (test case included)

Hi.

Distributed ruby seems to have issue with dispatch doen via
method_missing on the remote side. Is there a possible workaround for
this..


Here is a little test case that demonstrates the issue

#
# DRb method_missing test
#

class Tom
	def bloop
		puts "TOM GOES BLOOP"
		return %w{h a t s a r e f u n}
	end
	def method_missing(method,*args)
		puts "TOM :: method_missing #{method}"
	end
end

class MMObject
	def initialize()
		@tom = Tom.new
	end

	def method_missing(method,*args)
		@tom.send(method)
	end
end
URI = 'druby://localhost:9000'
def server
	mmObject = MMObject.new
	DRb.start_service(URI, mmObject)
	DRb.thread.join # Don't exit just yet!
end

def client
	DRb.start_service()
	mmObject = DRbObject.new(nil,URI)
	mmObject.bloop
	mmObject.whatever
end

require 'drb'

if __FILE__ == $0
	begin
	if  not ARGV.nil? and ARGV.size == 1
			send(ARGV[0])
	else
		raise "No Argument"
	end
	rescue
			puts $!.message
			puts "To Use this run with argument:
			 'server' to launch server instance
			 'client' to launch client instance
				 (which connects to server instance)
			"
	end
end
