I have a controller and model called user. Then I have a controller  
called signup and there I have a form for adding a user which is going  
to an action in user. How do I make sure that I get back to that same  
controller/view when there is a validation error?

Either that or having the form in the controller and view user but make  
sure that the path is /signup and not /users/signup. How do I do that?
