Hello Carlos, I have a similar requirement, and was not able to find an XML data source anywhere.
The closest I have seen to one is this one, which is half finished (and also dual data source which is not what I need): http://ask.cakephp.org/questions/view/crud_interaction_with_an_xml_data_source It seems that your own attempt is half finished as well. Does anyone know of a fully functional XML or Text Data Source for Cake PHP 2.x?
