Rails 3 respond_with json question

Hello,

Having trouble with generating some json. I am trying to render an single active record result to json like this:

    @data = User.find(1)     respond_with(@data, :include => :status)

The json result is:

{ -user: { address: null email: "test@email.com" first_name: "Test" last_name: "Man" status_id: 1 username: "testguy" status: { } } }

So whats the problem? The problem is that the :include=>:status seems to not bring over the relation. In my User model I have a belongs_to :status. How do i get this to work on a single result set?

When I do this:

    @data = User.where("id = 1")     respond_with(@data, :include => :status)

The relation shows in the json result set fine this way. But its within an array of objects, which i do not want.

Any ideas?

What happens (is there any difference?) if you do this:

@data = User.find(1, :include => :status)

That doesn't work. Then it displays this:

{ -user: { address: null email: "t@test.com" first_name: "Test" last_name: "Man" status_id: 1 username: "test" } }
