Record Count in AR using to_xml

rubyonrails-core
1

Hi,     I'm new to Ruby & using ROR as a web service. I'm returning XML using statement:

@persons = Person.find(:all) render :xml => persons.to_xml()

Now, this returns xml fine without any issues. However, it does not return the number of records. Lets say there are 2 records returned by the query as shown below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <persons>      <person>           <fname>Vick</fname>      </person>      <person>           <fname>John</fname>      </person> </persons>

Now, I need output xml as shown below which will include count as well: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <persons>      <totalcount>2</totalcount>      <person>           <fname>Vick</fname>      </person>      <person>           <fname>John</fname>      </person> </persons>

Can anyone help me out???

Thanks in Advance!

This is the wrong list to ask questions like this. You should ask on the rubyonrails-talk list.
