I'm new to cake, but not MVC so had a few questions on where the best place is to put some functionality as it pertains to CakePHP.
1) I parse an XML file from a dv camera and need to insert what I get into my database, I will have models for the data, but do I create my xml parse class in my own "package" and have my controller call it and map it to my model somehow before inserting it into my database? Not quite sure where it should fit. 2) I authenticate a user to my database and once authenticated we authorize the user and store their "role" in memory. Do we put that in the session and just use it where necessary or is there a more formal approach for authorization ?
