Rails - Jul 2008 - Preferred way to disable parts of a RESTful resource?

Hi all -

I''ve got my RESTful resource all setup.  However, there is no editing  
or destroying allowed.  What''s the preferred way to disable those?

- remove the action? (don''t like this idea)
- redirect within the action skipping the actual edit/destroy call?
- returning an error? (is there a standard here?)

Thanks!

-philip

remove the action (method) from the controller.  if you don''t want
code to be executed, don''t provide the code to execute.

Hi,

According to the HTTP specs, when a particular request method isn''t
supported for a resource identified by a URI, server should return 405
HTTP code.

Aloha Philip,

We use:

  def delete
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html raise(:method_not_allowed)
      format.xml  {render :xml=>exception, :status=>405}
    end
  end

for any methods that aren''t allowed. As Wojtek said, you are supposed
to return a 405 on items that aren''t allowed not a 404.

Best of luck,

DrMark
