Ok it works now
this is my action

  def show_me
   @user = Profile.find(@p)
   respond_to do |wants|
      wants.html {redirect_to profile_path(@p)}
      wants.xml {render :xml => @user.to_xml }
    end
  end

and this my route


   map.connect '/me', :controller => 'profiles', :action=> 'show_me'
but when i try to access /me.xml i get No route matches "/me.xml"

Me.xml is the same as /profiles/2-admin.xml (xml file from profile).

How can i do this?
