For the purpose of calling from a Flex HTTPService, I need to create  
an XML version of the Rails-generated list() function. The original  
is:

def list  
@rv\_wrk\_medical\_staff\_pages, @rv\_wrk\_medical\_staffs =  
paginate :rv\_wrk\_medical\_staffs, :per\_page =\> 10  
end

I tried applying to\_xml() to @rv\_wrk\_medical\_staffs, but get the  
following error message:

“Not all elements respond to to\_xml”

Thanks,

Chris.
