after looking deeper in ActiveModel i found that all dynamically generated attribute methods are included in a dynamic anonymous module. it can be accessed from an active record class via .generated_attribute_methods (User.generated_attribute_methods)
i was eventually able to alias all generated methods and set up a permission chain upon object extension - this method works but seems very HEAVY. would be nicer if all attribute manipulation went through #read_attribute and #write_attribute. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
