Hi list,

I don’t know whether the subject is understandable / what i really mean.  
I  
have a model which resources are nested and non-nested (CMIIW). Anyway,  
my  
routes.rb should explain:

map.resources :speeches, :collection =\> {  
:upload\_file =\> :get  
}

map.resources :bundles do |bundles|  
bundles.resources :speeches  
end

How to handle an action in SpeechesController, let’s say, index, for a  
different path, /speeches/ and /bundles/1/speeches/ ? Any reference to  
understand this area?

Thanks,

Dida
