Deb, I may be sticking my nose in unnecessarily, and if so, please accept my apologies, but when Samuel says "custom datasources are accessible" he isn't referring to creating the web service. He is referring to some of that Cake vocabulary. DataSource is a class in Cake. Check out the inheritence diagram here: http://api.cakephp.org/class_data_source.html. There is a brief discussion of one side of the coin in the manual: http://book.cakephp.org/view/476/REST and you might look in the bakery, too.
I'll be exposing a db through a web service soon, and will be consuming existing services with Cake, also. If I find any useful info, I'll append it to this thread.
