Why don't you use the render :xml? Rendering XML
Rendering XML sets the content type to application/xml. # Renders '<name>David</name>' render :xml => {:name => "David"}.to_xml It‘s not necessary to call<http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000612> to_xml on the object you want to render<http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000633>, since render<http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000633>will automatically do that for you: # Also renders '<name>David</name>' render :xml => {:name => "David"} On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 12:07 PM, Hassan Schroeder < hassan.schroe...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 7:44 AM, Sudhi Kulkarni > <rails-mailing-l...@andreas-s.net> wrote: > > > to state with an example the problem I have if the xml is > > <animal>dog</animal> and I use render :text then output is only dog...
