Do you mean you can take a string "some_class" and call: "some_class".camelize.constantize => SomeClass Or, are you talking about some weird #method_missing-based feature of rails that I don't know about? > Now with engines in Rails > 3.1, I can use modules to break apart my codebase.

What method are you calling? If I had to guess, it looks to me like you're not talking so much about calling a method #engine_some_class so much as passing this as a value (string or symbol) to some method.

Do you mean method chaining like: obj.method_a.method_b.method_c(arg1, arg2).method_d On Jun 6, 1:35 pm, Frederick Cheung <frederic...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > On Jun 6, 3:34 pm, frizbe1605 <frizb...@gmail.com> wrote:> > EngineBlogPost == @blog.engine_blog_post > > > Engine::BlogPost == ???????? > > > > You might want to elaborate - to me at least your question makes no > > sense. > > > > Fred. > > > You need more elaboration still.
