Hi all,  
I’ve got a view named “prompt.rhtml” and a controller named “customer”  
with some actions (“prompt”, “getdata”, and so on…). Of course, the  
URL “/customer/prompt” is associated to the action “prompt” and then  
to the view “prompt.rhtml”, but is it possible, when the URL is  
“/customer/getdata”, to associate the action “getdata”  
with the view “prompt.rhtml”? If so, how can I do this?

It should be like this: getdata (action) -\> prompt.rhtml (view)…

Tanks,  
Matthew

render :action =\> ‘foo’  
Will use the template for the foo action
