I am trying to do the following

map.with\_options :conditions =\> { :domain =\> XYZ\_DOMAIN }, :application  
=\> 6 do |xyz|  
xyz.site “/”, :controller =\> “xyz/site”, :action =\> “index”  
xyz.resources :things  
xyz.connect “:controller/:action/:id”, :controller =\> “site”,  
:action =\> “:index”  
end

I assign the :application parameter in the map.with\_options, this is  
passed to all map.connect style routes, but it will not pass to a  
resource. I attempted to do

xyz.resources :things, :application =\> 6

but no luck.

How can I pass a param based on the route to a resource?

Thanks
