Rails - Aug 2006 - Postback Action Problem

I was trying to use postbacks, but its not working.  

  def edit
    @xxxx= xxxx.find_by_id(params[:id]) || xxxx.new
    if request.post?
      @xxxx.attributes = params[:xxxx]
      redirect_to :list and return if @xxxx.save
    end
  end  

I get the following error: SystemStackError in xxxxxController#edit 
stack level too deep.  The code of list is same as the code generated by the
scaffold generator.    The stack trace is below:

e:/program
files/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.5/lib/action_controller/base.rb:854:in
`redirect_to''
e:/program
files/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.5/lib/action_controller/base.rb:854:in
`redirect_to''
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/xxxxx_controller.rb:23:in `edit''

The record is created but the url is still
http://localhost:3000/xxxxx/edit/x

I ran into the same problem recently and it was basically fuming when I
realized it all boiled down to the incorrect parameters being passed to
redirect_to().

For your code sample below,

  redirect_to :list

should be
  redirect_to action => :list
