Ok ... don't do what I did - if you're passing data to an XML view,
MAKE SURE it's in the form of an associative array.
He'res the break down of my problem. In my controller, I did $result =
$this->Post->Tag->Find. That of course gave me a $result that looked
something like:
Array (
['Tag']
[0] => Array ( ...
[Post]
[0] => Array( ...
)
but I only needed the tag stuff in my view so I did $this->set('tag',
$result['Tag']). The problem was the data passed to the view wasn't in
a associative array any longer, so the XMLHelper couldn't determine
what type of XML element it should create.
With a little digging thru XMLHelper, XML, and Set I found that, since
the find() recursion was set high enough, Set:map() ended thinking the
PostTag Tag attribute was the XML element type. In my mind this
should have been an error. I certainly caused the issue, but I think
map() should understand it's not dealing with an associative array
throw an warning/error vs. simply recursing down until it finds a
distant associative array.
FYI: If you tighten up the recursion so map() never finds an
associative array, your XML element will simply be created as
<stdClass />
