Description acts_as_resource lets you handle nested resource controllers neatly without having to modify every single call to a named route to include the full list of resources used to reach the target resource. Consider a routing table like map.resources :albums do |album| album.resources :songs end By configuring your models like class Album < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :songs acts_as_resource end and class Song < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :album acts_as_resource :parent => :album end You get a bunch of handy stuff. In your Song views, for instance, where before you had to do +song_path @song.album, @song+, you can now do: +song_path @song+ and the named route will use the 'parent' info to work out what objects are needed to build the path. In your controllers meanwhile, you get a generic +fetch_resources+ which automagically fetches the appropriate resources for the request, checking that they are properly accessible from the 'base' resource and assigns them to appropriately named instance variables (following the conventions used by the resource_scaffolding that comes with Rails 1.2.1). You also get a new controller method, +resource_chain+, that you can use for writing generic actions. We don't *quite* have enough support to replace the scaffold generated controller with simple inheritance, but we're getting there.
