Re: Redirect to XML

Read through the RequestHandler area of the cookbook then head over to
parse extension part of the router section. Lastly take a look at the
XML helper to output your content into xml. You'll get a good head
start on all you'll need to do to accomplish this.

http://book.cakephp.org/view/1291/Request-Handling

http://book.cakephp.org/view/945/Routes-Configuration#File-extensions-952

http://book.cakephp.org/view/1473/XML

The basic idea is pretty simple.
1) Setup your app to receive xml extensions
Router::parseExtension('xml');

2) Now setup an xml layout and view wherever you need it. Use the XML
helper in those areas.
Create Layout views/layouts/xml/default.ctp
Create Controller/Action xml views
-- views/some_controller/xml/some_action.ctp

3) Now that you have that all setup you can detect incoming extensions
and parse them however you choose with either the Router, or
RequestHandler.
function beforeFilter(){
if($this->RequestHandler->isMobile()){
$this->redirect(array('ext' => 'xml'));
}
}

That will redirect any action to its xml view if the incoming request
is detected as a mobile device.

Hope that gets you started. Good luck!
