Rails - Oct 2005 - Stack level too deep on controller without model? - routing

Hi,

I thought I could create a controller without a model (since I don''t 
need a model), but after I create it and add the following line to my 
routes.rb, the app dies on the matching URL:

map.connect ''mail/:id'', :controller =>
''emails'', :action => ''compose''

So when I go to /mail/7 for example, Rails greets me with:


  SystemStackError in <controller not set>#<action not set>

stack level too deep

|generated/routing/recognition.rb:22:in `recognize_path''
script/server:49|

So, is it possible to use a controller without a matching model?

Thanks!

Spoke too soon. The problem was I copied another controller''s code and 
forgot to change the controller name.

Still, the problem is now this one:


  ArgumentError in Emails#compose

wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)

|script/server:49|


Now what could be wrong?

Thank for your help!
