Or is it better to create that @hash directly in the needed method,
like this:
def create
@hash = REXML::Document.new xmlfile
title123 = params[:title]
pub = @hash
params = {:watchedfamily => {:Prio_No => pub, :title =>
title123, :watchedmembers_attributes => pub}}
@watchedfamily = Watchedfamily.new(params[:watchedfamily])
end
Or put all the 'extract data from XML code' into a model and just call
the model where I need it?
The problem is that I don't know exactly what I should put in a model
and what in a controller.
