How to get the xml output of a view/controller as string within the same controler
This is the routes file
routes.rb
map.ccda '/ccda/ccda_patient_search', :controller => 'ccda', :action => :ccda_patient_search
map.ccda '/ccda/:id.:format', :controller => 'ccda', :action => :index
ccda_controller.rb
class CcdaController < ApplicationController
def index
#
# some process
# result = User.find(params[:id]).result
#
@ccda = result
respond_to do |format|
format.xml { render :layout => false, :template=> "index.xml.builder" }
format.any { redirect_to login_url }
end
end
def get_xml
# render_to_string 'index', :layout=>false, :formats=>[:xml], :locals=>{:id=>147} => Not working
# render_to_string '147.xml' => Not working
#
# How do I get the output of 'http://localhost/ccda/147.xml' here???
#
end
end
I will use the url localhost/ccda/147.xml to view/generate the users result as xml
Now I want the output of that url as a string without returning to browser
I've tried to get it from same controller using render_to_string method with diffrent parameters but nothing seems to work
FYI: I am using rails 2.3.12 and Builder::XmlMarkup API
