Thanks Webber

1. Noticed the missing bracket and fixed.
2. Have set a route as follows:
match '/getdiagram', :to => 'prosesses#getDiagram'
It seems to be executing the right controller/action from the error
message i get
3. Tried that but get:
c:/Users/Jason/rails_projects/procstor/app/controllers/prosesses_controller.rb:123:
syntax error, unexpected tASSOC, expecting '}'
respond_with { :status => 'okay' }
