Restful service in rails without scaffold?

Question

I am working on Ruby on Rails 3.0.6. Is there a way to create Restful services in rails without the use of scaffold generation??

Thanks in advance!

Of course. Scaffolding generators are just a quick way to boot strap. You don't have to use them at all.

You could script/generate model, then manually create your controller and views.

rails g will show you all the generators. rails g resource will explain the options for creating a resource.
