Darren, a good design pattern that is useful for lots of models if
you're aiming for RESTfulness is to add a before_filter to your
controller. So, if I understood your question correctly:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
before_filter :retrieve_user
# Executed before every request if processed
def retrieve_user
@user = User.find(params[:id])
end
def confirm
if @user.full_name == params[:full_name]
head :ok
else
head :bad_request
end
end
end
Cheers, --Kip
