HI,  
I have to write property file in ROR.  
Is it possible to write a property file in Rails framework?  
If yes then where I will store that file and how to use that file in  
my application?  
Is there a reflection concept in ROR like Java?

What’s a property file and what are you using it for?

Ruby has immense amounts of reflection & metaprogramming support
