Because I like to answer my own questions, I found the solution to
this.
Here's how you set up the map for your new service:
name your file 'app/models/datasources/type_source.php' (e.g.,
'web_services_source.php')
your class name will be the StudlyCaps version of that (e.g.,
'WebServicesSource'), defined in the above file.
Set up a map for that datasource to a name in database.php's
DATABASE_CONFIG class:
var $whatever = array('datasource' => 'type'); (e.g.: var
$web_services => array('datasource' => 'web_services'))
The datasource value is the name of your datasource file w/o the
'_source.php' at the end. The name of the variable ($web_services),
can be whatever you want.
In your model, tell it to use your new data source. I did this in the
constructor with:
$this->setDataSource('whatever');
Where 'whatever' is the name of your variable in the DATABASE_CONFIG
class.
I'm probably doing that last part wrong, but it seems to work for me.
