Notice that I do not do the registration while initialising the object but with another method. This is because (as far as I understand) while the initialise method is executed by the object generator of the class, the object was not actually created yet. def onstream(stream_object,pond_label) raise "#{pond_label} already used. Must be unique\n" unless (stream_object.pond_registry[pond_label].nil?) stream_object.pond_registry[pond_label] = self end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
