Subject: Re: to_s mixin/reflection/newbie stuff

Thanks Hemant!  I still have trouble seeing things as methods without 
the parentheses(); but it makes perfect sense now.  And i wrote a nice 
little module to duplicate what is often done to create good debug 
output in hibernate (j2ee world):

module ReflectionToString
  def to_s
    str = self.class.name + "["
    for attribute in self.attributes
      str += attribute[0].to_s + ": " + attribute[1].to_s + ", "
    end
    str += "]"
    str
  end
end

Someone could probably clean it up a bit but its just a first pass...

I have a Rails specific question (i know this is kinda the wrong forum, 
but I'm already here..) Where is the appropriate place to store this 
module? In the helper or model folder? lib? A new folder? Don't know the 
conventions yet and I haven't seen anything about utility classes yet...
thanks again.
