Re: CakePHP without database access. Webservices only
I am using this approach on a project. Looking on the Internet found a
way using *datasources*.
var $webservice = array(
'datasource' => 'webservice'
);
create the file interactive_source.php inside model/datasources.. and
in the app_controller.php
class AppController extends Controller {
function beforeFilter()
{
// Instância o DataSource Fenix
$this->service =&
ConnectionManager::getDataSource('webservice');
}
}
other approach is creating a behaviour for model tie to make the model
to acts as a webservice...

Yes, create app/models/datasources/dbo/dbo_my_dbo_source.php
add
class DboMyDboSource extends DboSource
{
function connect()
{
$this->connected = true;
return $this->connected;
}
function disconnect()
{
$this->connected = false;
return !$this->connected;
}
}
and use it by putting in database.php 'driver' => 'my_dbo_source'
Note: This is in addition putting useTable = false in your models
However a more elegant idea would be to abstract more of your
webservice into the dbosource - we did this recently for Salesforge

P.S. Probably disconnect method is not needed - experiment with it

Re: CakePHP without database access. Webservices only
I guess they want no tables ($useTable), but also no database at all... Because even if you don't use tables at all, you'll need a database connection to make Cake work... Maybe a "dummy" datasource / db driver would be possible... +++ Clément On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 7:51 AM, chovy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Aug 13, 8:49 am, Bob Mattax <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I am working on a current application that doesn't have any direct >> access to the database.

I've looked at Rails, but cannot find any good examples on this (everything is geared towards providing a web service, not consuming one). Please, *please* let me know if you find a way to do it that still takes advantage of MVC, and generators, etc. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
