I tried:

that worked.

So I still don't get how the REST Path is defined and can be used?

What do you have in your config/routes.rb file? That's key to
understanding the named routes that you have available.


 map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
 map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'
 map.root :controller => "home"
 map.connect ':action', :controller => "static"
 map.login 'Login',  :controller => 'user', :action => 'login'

The above route should haveve created default paths that I would like to use? If so can you tell me what would they be based on the route entry.

Wow, you really want to look into named routes.

The only two names that you have are:
        root_path
        login_path
and neither takes an argument.

Typically, your login action doesn't have a known user because that't really the point of logging in, isn't it?

map.resources :users

would give you a set of named RESTful routes.

The Rails documentation will give you all the details.

You're actually missing a comma
