Routes should just work.rb

#Routes:

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  # restful routes
  map.resources :users

  # default routes
  map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
  map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'
end

#Controller:

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  
  def index
    render :text => "url for show: #{url_for(:action => 'show', :id => 1)}, url for login: #{url_for(:action => 'login')}"
  end
  
  def show
    render :text => "Show action called with id #{params[:id]}"
  end
    
  def login
    render :text => "Login action called"
  end
  
end

#Notes:

# So then if I hit the index action, I see:
"url for show: http://localhost:3000/users/1, url for login: http://localhost:3000/users/login"

# But if I then go to that URL for login (http://localhost:3000/users/login), it hits the show action:
"Show action called with id login"
