I'm not sure what you're really asking, but maybe this will help:

Terminal
--------------
rails g scaffold picture name:string mime_type:string url:string
rake db:migrate
rails s (or ./script/server for Rails < 3.0)

THE CODE...

picture.rb
---------------
class Picture < ActiveRecord::Base
end

pictures_controller.rb
------------------
# GET /pictures/1
# GET /pictures/1.xml
def show
@picture = Picture.find(params[:id])

respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @picture }
end
end

Terminal (again)
------------------------
$ curl http://localhost:3000/pictures/1.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<picture>
<created-at type="datetime">2010-09-30T14:14:32Z</created-at>
<id type="integer">1</id>
<mime-type>image/jpeg</mime-type>
<name>Fox Example Picture</name>
<updated-at type="datetime">2010-09-30T14:14:32Z</updated-at>

</picture>
