[Rails] Re: Trouble understanding Routes

map.resources

This is the same thing as stating that you have a RESTful controller 
setup and that you have paths in place for all 7 controller methods 
(index, show, new, edit, create, update, and destroy).

map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'

This allows you to have urls in place for..

http://yourdomain.com/controller/action/id OR
http://yourdomain.com/controller/id/action etc.

If you haven't modified how your routing and paths are going to behave 
in each of your controllers then you want to make sure those two lines 
are always at the very bottom of the your routes file.  Routes have 
precedence in place for their order.

If you want to use javascript in your routes you would place something 
like this:

map.js ':controller/:action.:format'

.. at the very bottom as well.

If you wanted a catchall routes type of path set you can set the 
following at the bottom:

map.connect "*anything", :controller => 'controllername', :action => 
'request_error'

.. just an example ..
