Hi Narayana,

You create an rxml file in one of your views.  In that file, you do 
something along these lines:

xml.instruct!
       #=> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
xml.div( :class=> "leadNotification") do
	xml.timestamp(Time.now)
	xml.lead do
		xml.lead_number( @lead.id )
		xml.first_name( @lead.first_name )

                ...
        end
end



This example is something I used to send an outgoing email in XML 
format.  Obviously, your example will be a little different but 
hopefully this is enough to get you going.  I''m pretty sure if you 
search google with "XML and RAILS and RXML" then you will find more 
complete examples.

Regards,

Michael
