Getting XML from different controller

Rails
1

Hi!

Say, I’m in controller X and want to parse the XML (.rxml template)
output of controller Y. How can I do that? I’ve tried to open() it over
http, but that results in a timeout.

Thanks a lot,
HW

Probably you are using webrick which is single threaded, hence the
second request can’t be processed until the first finishes?

Switch to a different webserver for your development

Although intuitively, having controller X parse the XML generated by
controller Y seems a bit odd. Why could controller X not reuse the
model code that controller Y uses to generate the data it sticks in the
XML? The whole XML step seems unecessary to me.
