I just received the latest DDJ which contained an article titled
"Databases & Dynamic Ruby Classes." I haven't had the chance to read
it (too busy), but it was good to see Ruby getting more exposure.
(Especially in a magazine such as DDJ)
Just an fyi for the group.

Well I just read it. Pretty interesting. It was about using
method_missing to do DB updates (ie something.property =
something_else, update the DB at the key propety, etc.) and some
interesting stuff about storing ruby code in the database as opposed
to in the source. Pretty neat.

To me, as a ruby slightly-post-newby, method_missing is a unique and
powerfull feature that makes ruby feel like a truely 'real' OO
language. That is message passing rather than method calls with
implicit this objects.
I love it! If only you could catch java.lang.NoSuchMethodError in the
callee rather than the caller...

Since java is a strongly typed language that won't happen 
The method
must exist on the receiver. You're probably already aware of it, but you
can do something similar by using dynamic proxies in java. Check out
java.lang.reflect.Proxy and java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler.
