Hey all,  
I’ve just installed ActiveResource.  
Those are my two models:

class Profile \< ActiveRecord::Base  
has\_many :emails  
end  
class Email \< ActiveRecord::Base  
belongs\_to :profile  
end

My routes.rb file:

map.resources :emails  
map.resources :profiles do |p|  
p.resources :emails  
end

those are my client site models:

class Profile \< ActiveResource::Base  
self.site = “[http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000)”  
end

class Email \< ActiveResource::Base  
self.site = “[http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000)”  
end

From script/console, I can create profiles and emails fine.  
But when I try to do something like:  
p=Profile.find 1  
p.emails

it returns an error that emails function doesn’t exist but I think  
this is normal RESTful behaviour right?  
What’s the RESTful way to do it?

I also tried something like:

Email.find :all, :profile\_id=\>2

but it returns all the profiles any way.

How can I do custom find queries the restful way?

thanx in advance

Pat
