Alright, I've figured out a solution that is working for me:
class AppExceptionHandler {
public static function handleException($error) {
$request = new CakeRequest();
$request_type = AppExceptionHandler::parseExtension($request-
>here);
switch ($request_type) {
case 'json':
AppExceptionHandler::renderJson($error);
break;
case 'xml':
AppExceptionHandler::renderXml($error);
break;
case 'html':
default:
AppExceptionHandler::renderHtml($error);
break;
}
}
public static function parseExtension($url) {
$ext = null;
if (preg_match('/\.[0-9a-zA-Z]*$/', $url, $match) === 1) {
$match = substr($match[0], 1);
if (empty(self::$_validExtensions)) {
$url = substr($url, 0, strpos($url, '.' . $match));
$ext = $match;
} else {
foreach (self::$_validExtensions as $name) {
if (strcasecmp($name, $match) === 0) {
$url = substr($url, 0, strpos($url, '.' .
$name));
$ext = $match;
break;
}
}
}
}
return $ext;
}
}
I stole the parseExtension method from the Router class in CakePHP. I
may also use the CakeRequest::accepts() method at some point (or maybe
adopt the 2.1 way of doing things when upgrading), but I prefer to use
the extension to make it easier for REST clients to specify what
content type they want returned by the API.
It's a hack, so if there is a better solution I would like to know.
