I am looking for examples of Rails sites that deliver and consume xml,  
specifically with nested resources; for example, an invoice header and  
related invoice details. I would like examples that expose both the  
model and controller code so that I can see how this is wired up.

I am preparing a transfer of legacy data to a new rails app and I am  
contemplating using the existing system’s report generator to produce an  
xml document with the necessary attributes arranged and tagged for the  
new data structure. However, I need to see how this works in practice.

If anyone has recommendations I would greatly appreciate viewing them.
