Ruby on Rails

Yes you were right! I was definitely on the wrong track!

The URL really helped to understand how to create nested active
records.

I still have a big problem. I have two methods in my controller SHOW
and SAVE.

In the show method I extract a lot of data from an XML into a hash
variable. In the save method I want to store that variable in the
database. The problem is that my @hash variable is only available in
the first method.
How can I access a variable from one method to another? Is session or
flash a good idea for that, I don't need that data anymore after
saving to db.

Simplified methods look like this:

class PatentController < ApplicationController
def show #This method has more than 50 lines code in reality
@hash = REXML::Document.new xmlfile
end

def create
title123 = params[:title]
pub = @hash
params = {:watchedfamily => {:Prio_No => pub, :title =>
title123, :watchedmembers_attributes => pub}}
@watchedfamily = Watchedfamily.new(params[:watchedfamily])
end
end

Cheers,
Sebastian
