Well, this is a classic use case when we jump too early on Rails not understanding the Ruby (or programming in general) to at least a decent level.... let alone the meta-programming stuff.
One should get a good hold of Ruby at least to a level where s/he understands how the memory mapping is working behind the scenes... otherwise you can end up writing the piles of junk which is eating up all your server's memory. @tam - I am even not sure how can experiment it.

If you provide any reference link or > data to proof that validation already get cached. > "If you provide any reference link or data to proof that validation already get cached." I got a smile when I read the above line. :D a humble suggestion: before finding any proof, you gotta study more about programming and how the memory space is managed on the runtime. Do you know what is the difference between a string and a symbol and why and where symbols are preferred over strings ? try this: a = "some string" b = "some string" b.object_id == a.object_id (watch for the result of this expression) sym_a = :some_symbol sym_b = :some_symbol sym_b.object_id == sym_a.object_id (watch for the result of this expression) Now, you don't need to go too far for finding the proof for the validation/class caching: (let alone the Rails production environment, in one process of Ruby, if Ruby can't cache the class why would you even use it ?) user_class = class User; end another_user_class = class User; end user_class.object_id == another_user_class.object_id (watch for the result of this expression) *Note:- object_id is the method available to every single object in Ruby (remember every smallest/biggest entity in Ruby you have is an object)... and it returns the id of that object from the memory map.* Play as much as possible with the above snippets in IRB. IRB is interactive Ruby console, you can initiate it by typing "irb" in your terminal and then can type the above snippets to test there. Try tasting the flavor of Ruby to a bit of the next levels. regards, Sur crimson9.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
