Many ways to do it; I am explaining the one I use. I retrieve XML
based on extension. So my URL looks like http://localhost/entries/index.xml
Here are my steps:
1. Add an XML directory under you views, for eg. in my case
app\views\entries\xml
2. Create an index.ctp with the following code
<?php echo $xml->serialize($entries);
?>
3. Make sure you have the following line in Routes.php
Router::parseExtensions();
4. Add RequestHandler component to your Controller
var $components = array(’RequestHandler’);
5. [optionally] I also modify the index function in my controller to
the following
function index() {
$this->Entry->cacheSources = false;
$this->Entry->recursive = 0;
if ($this->params['url']['ext'] == 'html') {
$this->set('entries', $this->paginate());
} else {
Configure::write('debug',0);
$this->set('entries', $this->Entry->find('all'));
}
}
To understand how all of this works, refer to
