The format is determined by the HTTP Accept header, and not by adding an extension on the URL. So, your url remains /sessions/create and not /sessions/create.xml
You can test this out by using a command line tool like curl. For example: curl -H "Accept: application/xml" "http://localhost:3000/sessions/ create?login=xxx&password=xxx" This should return your xml.
