here are the things I did to get it to work at a bare minimum for a
REST style service
make a rest.php file in components
<?php
class RestComponent extends Object {
}
?>
make a rest.php file in views/helpers
<?php
class RestHelper extends Helper
{
}
?>
in views/layouts make a folder called 'rest' and put a default.thtml file in it
<?php echo $content_for_layout; ?>
for the controller that you want a rest service make a folder called
rest in views/controllername/
in there put the view for the action like
<?php e('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>');
if (isset($applications) and !empty($applications)) : ?>
<rsp stat="ok">
<applications type='array'>
<?php foreach ($applications as $application) : ?>
<application type='struct'>
<name><?php
e($application['Application']['name'])?></name>
<version><?php
e($application['Version'][0]['value'])?></version>
</application>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</applications>
<?php else: ?>
<rsp stat="fail">
<err type='struct'>
<?php if ($session->check('Message.flash')): ?>
<msg><?php
e(strip_tags($session->read('Message.flash')));?></msg>
<?php endif; ?>
</err>
<?php endif; ?>
</rsp>
That's the basics of what I did, and heck it worked for me. I started
on an article in the bakery but I am just swamped with work right now
and can't seem to finish it.
