RESTful Resources and Sub-Resources

Quick question I'm hoping you guys might know...

I'm working at re-factoring my application to be RESTful and I'm running into a lot of problems as I try to totally understand this whole REST thing... my question here however is with the routes.rb file... for example I have Clients, who have Locations... so would the code in the routes.rb file be

map.resources :clients, :has_many => [ :locations ]

or I've seen this as well..

map.resources :clients do |clients|      clients.resources :locations end

Which of these is the correct Rails 2.0 way of doing it?

Thanks in advanced.

As far as I know both are valid, just the former being a shorthand for default cases and the latter allowing for advanced configuration parameters such as custom methods.
