Hi,  
I have two list

1. Groups that user part of
2. Group members list.

I trying to do this by using the reflection so that I will be having  
only one view in which depending on the action the object passed will be  
different.

Is there any way to find the all attributes of the object so that I will  
iterate on attributes array and list out the attribute values during  
rendering?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,  
Tushar

\<%= a.to\_a[1]\>
