Rails - May 2008 - Nested Resource - "You are Being Redirected" interim page

Hi,

A bit of a noob andtrying to get RESTful nested resources working for
the first time.
My environments is as follows:
Mac Leopard
Ruby 1.8.6
Rails 2.0.2 - standard everything, mongrel, etc.

Following various instructions & tutorials, I''ve got this working
99%
but apparently have made an oversight which I can''t figure out
that''s
causing some problems.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
My resources are Customers & Contacts
routes.rb looks like:

map.resources :customers do |customer|
    customer.resources :contacts
  end
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My contact controller includes these changes:

class ContactsController < ApplicationController
   before_filter :load_parent

def create
  @contact = Contact.new(params[:contact])
  @contact.customer = @customer

respond_to do |format|
  if @contact.save
  flash[:notice] = ''Contact was successfully created.''
  format.html { redirect_to([@customer,@contact]) }

private

def load_parent
  @customer = Customer.find(params[:customer_id])
  end
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My contacts/new.html.erb includes this change:

<% form_for([@customer,@contact]) do |f| %>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So now, in customers/show.html.erb I add a link to new contact page:

# <%= link_to "Add new Contact",
new_customer_contact_path(@customer) %>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything is working correctly at this stage. Clicking the link takes
me to the New Contact page (/customers/1/contacts/new) where I can
create a new contact.  The new contact gets properly saved to the DB
including the correct id in  the customer_id column.

However, there are 2 problems:

1.  After successfully creating the contact, I am presented with an
"interim" page which says "Contact was Successfully
created.....You are
being Redirected (link)". No redirection occurs however.  I have to
click the link which takes me back to the customers page.

2.  The other problem is that when I try to view all the contacts I''ve
created for a specific customer, I''m presented with all the contacts
for
each customer.

So visiting /customers/2/contacts shows me all contacts for all
customers (#1, #2, #3, etc.) when it should only display contacts with
customer_id = 2.

I can''t figure out where I''ve gone wrong?  The DB records the
proper
relationships and the redirect in the create contact action seems to be
right.

Also, half the tutorials I find online still use the following method
for nested resources:
map.resources :customers, :has_many => :contacts

My understanding is that the only difference with this method is you
don''t get as many named routes for free and that this is the pre-Rails
2.0.0 way of nesting resources.  Am I correct in this assumption or are
there other differences?

Thanks for your suggestions.  Any help would be most appreciated.  I''m
really at a loss for how to fix this issue.

Thanks!

Sorry...made an error in noting my routes.rb file.  it is actually:

routes.rb

map.resources :customers do |customerS|
    customerS.resources :contacts
  end
