Hi,
In your controller you can specify what you want to be included in the
xml and filter out the stuff you don't want to be there. For example:
render :xml => @survey_response.to_xml( :dasherize => false,
:include => {
:user =>
{:include =>
{:city =>
{:include =>
{:state => {}
}
}
}
},
:answers =>
{:include =>
{:question => {}, :choice => {}
}
}
}
)
that's part of controller i have for one of my apps where i feed back
to the xml the answers given by a user who filled a form. And i choose
to include the city/state information with the answers, whereas if i
do the following:
render :xml => @survey_response.to_xml( :dasherize => false,
:include => {
:user =>
{:include =>
{:city =>
{:include =>
{:state => {}
}
}
}
}
}
)
I would be just including the city/state info and leaving out the
answers. You could do something similar for your model.
I hope this is helpful
