Rails - Sep 2006 - more respond_to strangeness

I''m looking for some debugging tips on this respond_to strangeness. My
xml file is being rendered within my html layout.

this is a different problem than the question I posted here:
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_frm/thread/cb835c10fdda3478/8aa485a9333c2e84?lnk=gst&q=respond_to+strangeness&rnum=1#8aa485a9333c2e84
In that problem, rails was not detecting that I had an .rhtml file,
when I did. Turned out to be a conflict between respond_to and the
globalize_rails plug-in I was using. I have since stripped out
globalize functionality.

Here is my controller...

def show
 	@question = Question.find(params[:id])
   	respond_to do |type|
   	  type.html
   	  type.js
   	  type.xml
        end
end

For xml views, I have an show.rxml view for it to render.

The html view works fine, but if I request the page in xml format, the
xml view gets rendered properly, but within my html layout!

If I do something like: type.xml {render :xml => @question.to_xml} that
xml renders fine. But if I tell it render an .rxml file, it renders my
html layout around it.

My development log shows this when I access the xml file:
Processing QuestionsController#show (for 127.0.0.1 at 2006-09-11

-------------------------------
Am I missing something?

BTW, this was working propertly last week. I had the error referenced
in the link above but solved it once I stripped out the globalization
stuff.

I am running the latest edge rails. I just synched to the latest to see
if that would help, but no joy.

Okay, it is not just me. Here is a link to someone else having the same
issue:
http://www.mail-archive.com/sdruby-aMjmuwdsvJ9zcOJBaT+g/Q@public.gmane.org/msg00057.html

I used Kevin''s suggestion which worked.
respond_to do |wants|
  wants.xml { render :template => ''my_template.rxml'',
:layout => false
}
end

But I thought rails would automatically look for an method.rxml file
and ignore any method.rhtml file. It seems you have to specify the rxml
file however.

It''s strange because I thought it was working last week without telling
it to specifically render an rxml file.

If it previously found a .rhtml file during the same execution of  
your application in development mode, it will have cached it, and  
will continue to serve it even after you''ve created a new .rxml file.  
This can lead to some apparently random behavior.

Don''t know if this could account for what you''re seeing.
