Rails - Feb 2006 - More concise edit methods

def edit
  @item = Item.find(params[:id])

  redirect_to :action=>:list if (request.post? and 
@item.update_attributes(params[:item]))
end

I could probably condense it into one line (something like 
...and(@item=Item.update...)), but I''ll probably actually use:

def edit
  @item = Item.find(params[:id])

  if request.post? and @item.update_attributes(params[:item])
    flash[:notice] = ''Item updated.''

    redirect_to :action=>:list
  end
end

I like this readable conciseness that''s easily possible in Ruby/Rails. 
:)
