If you need to notify the user of error, the best way is using flash (in the controller). For instance, in the rescue part of that last function do something like this:
rescue Exception => e flash[:error] = e.to_s redirect :controller => ... , :action => ... end And in the view of the page you are redirecting to, make sure you have a reserved space to show flash messages like so: <p class='error'><%= flash[:error] -%></p> Hope it was of help.
