Notice Error Undefined property with custom data source
I am using CakePHP 2.0.5. I have subclassed DataSource to create my own data source and have implemented the describe(), listSources(), and CRUD methods as outlined at http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/datasources.html When using the data source to instantiate instances of an AppModel subclass I am seeing the following: Notice Error: Undefined property: MySource::$startQuote in [/path/to/ app/lib/Cake/Model/Model.php, line 1269] Notice Error: Undefined property: MySource::$endQuote in [/path/to/app/ lib/Cake/Model/Model.php, line 1269] Notice Error: Undefined property: MySource::$columns in [/path/to/app/ lib/Cake/Model/Model.php, line 1569] Is it expected that I should see these errors? Do I need to define $startQuote, $endQuote, and $columns for my data source class? If so is there documentation I can follow so that I understand how they will be used?

Re: Custom data source
I would probably not go all the way back to a data source. At least not at first. I would create a special Model that talked to the web service. The reason is that I don't really think you will end up supporting a majority of the data source features so it may be more work than you want. How would you deal with find queries at the dso level? Does the api support anything like a query? Will you have any kind of write-access (save, delete...)? The more of these questions you can answer yes to the more sense it would make to create a dso.

What is the best way to implement this using CakePHP? I thought of designing a custom data source which will be given the username and password once the user logs in.
