[Rails-core] Object finalization help

[Adam Ballai]

Heya guys,

  This one is bothering me as its evading my eye.  I'm trying to set a 
callback on finalization of an object, ie: a finalizer set through a 
plugin to the model.

Example In Plugin:
def acts_as_goat
 class_eval do
   ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, lambda {self.conn.close} )
 end
end

class UberGoat < ActiveRecord::Base
 acts_as_goat
end

Is this the correct way to set a finalizer or am I going about it the 
wrong way.   I need to close a socket connection _after_ the model goes 
out of scope where GC usually happens. Do models get GC'd after a page 
is done loading?

Thanks for any help.
