That depends entirely on your edit action in your controller. Keep in
mind, ActiveResource won't give you raw XML back, it will return
resource objects.
You're returning a venture. Do you have a resource for it? I'm not
even sure what the custom actions are supposed to return. I'd go by
the source or the unit tests to see if you're getting the expected
result.
Looks like I'm getting exactly what I should expect to get.
This isn't really very helpful. All I want to do is understand all
the relevant ways to interact with the standard ActiveRecord RESTful
API. Once I've got it figured I'll post, promise.
