I am no guru on this topic, but I glanced at the section of the AWDWR that
talks about that; it seems that what you need to do is:
a) override the automatic rails generation of xml
b) and generate the Xml yourself... with the help of Jim Weirich's builder
library
So: after installing the 'builder' gem:
a) in the controller:
def index
@persons = Person.find(:all)
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.xml { render :layout => false }
end
end
b) in app/views/person/index.builder.xml
xml.persons do
xml.totalcount(@persons.size)
@persons.each do |p|
xml.person do
xml.name(p.name)
...
end
end
end
###
It is a bit unfortunate that just to add a field, we need to generate all
the Xml, but I did not find any other way.
But in any case the above works
