Subject: DRb Method_mising respond_to?


Hi, I'm trying to use respond_to on a class for the purpose of getting
DRb to work with
method_missing. This is basically what i am doing. The situation is
that i'm not getting
the proper execution of methods if i use respond_to in this manner with
method_missing.

If i don't have a return true for @childrenArray in the respond_to then
things seem to work,
otherwise it seems to call the method_missing but the return value from
the @childArray send
doesn't seem to make it.. to_ary is being called , i'm trying to call
Foo.flatten.uniq

Any Suggestions?

class Foo

  alias_method :old_respond_to? :respond_to?
  def respond_to?(msg_id)
     return true if @childrenArray.respond_to?(msg_id)
     return true if self.old_respond_to?(msg_id)
     false
  end

  def method_missing(*args)
    if @childrenArray.respond_to(args[0])
       return @childrenArray.send(*args)
    else
          raise NameError, "#{args.join(',')}"
    end
  end

end
