Rails - Jul 2006 - Why is my rxml view being wrapped by the rhtml template in views/layouts?

Why is my rxml view being wrapped by the rhtml template in views/ 
layouts?

I was experimenting with REST, I had a nice little test program with  
one table: ''resources''. Here''s what the show method
looks like:

   def show
     @resource = Resource.find(params[:id])
     respond_to do |accepts|
       accepts.html
       accepts.xml
     end
   end

I have a show.rhtml and show.rxml views.

I could see the html doing this:

curl -H ''Accept: application/xml''
http://localhost:3000/resource/show/1

and the xml doing this:

curl -H ''Accept: application/xml''
http://localhost:3000/resource/show/1

And it worked ... then I must have done something wrong and went to  
dinner. Now I''m back and every request I make asking for xml runs  
layouts/resource.layout.  This causes the effect of having my xml  
output wrapped by the html generated by the standard layout template.

Thanks for any ideas!

need a:

render :layout => false

in the controller to stop layout generation

My controller action looks like this:

   def show
     @resource = Resource.find(params[:id])
     respond_to do |accepts|
       accepts.html
       accepts.xml
     end
   end

It was working just fine without render :layout => false -- then it  
wasn''t?? Adding your suggestion like this works however:

   def show
     @resource = Resource.find(params[:id])
     respond_to do |accepts|
       accepts.html
       accepts.xml { render :layout => false }
     end
   end

I don''t see this needed in any of the examples I read about (example:  
http://media.pragprog.com/titles/rails2/Rest.pdf) -- and now I think  
I must have been hallucinating when I thought it was working  
before ...??

Anyways, Thanks for the suggestion!
