This sounds fishy, you're calling set_table_name on AR::Base, not your
class. just klass.set_table_name 'blah' should be enough

You haven't created a constant called class_name -
ActiveRecord::Base.const_set(constant_name, klass) would have created
ActiveRecord::Base::Foo.
You probably wanted Object.const_set class_name, klass
