Routing nested resources on Models with has\_many is very  
straightforward eg.  
Project-\>Iteration-\>WorkItem

can be mapped with:

map.resources :projects do |projects|  
projects.resources :iterations do |iterations|  
iterations.resources :workItems  
end  
end

resulting in pleasant urls like  
[http://localhost:3000/projects/1/iterations/3/workitems](http://localhost:3000/projects/1/iterations/3/workitems)

- but how can you map resources with acts\_as\_tree and an arbitrary  
nesting?!  
eg.

Treenode-\>Treenode-\>Treenode-\>…

I’m trying to achieve convenient urls roughly like:  
[http://localhost:3000/treenodes/1/children3/schildren/4/children/7](http://localhost:3000/treenodes/1/children3/schildren/4/children/7)

Has anyone ever tried to map acts\_as\_tree ressources in a RESful  
manner?!

Thx for any tips!
