RESTful Resources and Sub-Resources

Rails
1

Quick question I’m hoping you guys might know…

I’m working at re-factoring my application to be RESTful and I’m
running into a lot of problems as I try to totally understand this
whole REST thing… my question here however is with the routes.rb
file… for example I have Clients, who have Locations… so would
the code in the routes.rb file be

map.resources :clients, :has_many => [ :locations ]

or I’ve seen this as well…

map.resources :clients do |clients|
clients.resources :locations
end

Which of these is the correct Rails 2.0 way of doing it?

Thanks in advanced.

As far as I know both are valid, just the former being a shorthand for
default cases and the latter allowing for advanced configuration
parameters such as custom methods.
