One way (and one that lets you either use the default connection on
the base class or override it per sub-class) would be something like:
module Generic
class Base
def self.connect(resource, opts)
@connection =3D resource.connect(opts)
end
def connection
@connection || (self!=3DGeneric::Base && Generic::Base.connection)
end
end
end
class Resource < Generic::Base
# whatever
end
