I'm working with ActiveResource a lot so my service models are only using XML. Thus, I have no need for a respond_to block, I literally just render :xml => @model
I can't however figure out how to render a 404 header using this. I've had to resort to respond_to, which I think adds a few unnecessary method calls. Here's what I'm using:
respond_to do |format|
if (record_found)
render :xml => @some_record
else
format.xml{ head :not_found }
end
end
but I just want something like render :xml => head :not_found
which doesn't work. Can anyone tell me the proper syntax?
