Hi..

There are my nested routes

map.resources :continent do |continent|         continent.resources :land do |land|           land.resources :destination       end end

By example it generates this url

http://example/continent/azie/land/japan/destination/aomori

I want

http://example/continent/azie/japan/aomori

How can i realize this...?

Thats the way nested resources work.

  /:controller_one/:id_one/:controller_two/:id_two/...etc...

This is because a resource may have more than 1 type of child resource and there needs to be a way to figure out which you are talking about.

You want a custom route, like:

  map.destination "continent/:contintent_id/:land_id/:id

Now you can do:

  destination_path(:continent_id => 'azie', :land_id => 'japan', :id => 'aomori')

to get:

  /continent/azie/japan/aomori

RESTful routes don't always give you everything you need.
