You will need to pass the id and then get the object from the db using the
id in the controller.

Secondly - ruby is the language in which rails is developed. This list is
for the language, which is used for more than just rails, so posting rails
questions to this list is annoying to people who have nothing to do with
rails.

For rails related questions join the rails mailing list:
