Change layout for specific category (productpage)

Question

I got a specific category and I want to change the layout for all the products the category contain.

If I want to change the layout(productpage) for all categories I need to edit the file app\design\frontend\rwd\default\template\catalog\product\view.phtml. But I just want to edit the layout for one category( the productpage layout)

I saw something with CategoryID but I don't really get it. Hope you can help me!

   <action method="setTemplate"><template>your-template-file.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
