Re: Component and models
I've wanted to do the same thing several times, but they keep telling me it's best of you don't access models from components (don't ask me why). One thing they told me in the IRC chat is that most of the time it's best to pass data as a parameter to the component. Any reusable code that needs to access the model could go in the AppController. I've tried to take this approach with most stuff with pretty good success. The only problem with this in my opinion is that your app controller could get pretty bloated pretty fast. I would really rather have a solid answer as to why accessing a model from a componant is a bad idea... The ACL does it.

Re: Component and models
While you wait for a more authoritive reply, I'll chip in to say that that's what I've done where I needed to. But I think it depends on the model's association with the controller that loads the component.
