Gentlepeople, Thanks for your prompt and to the point replies.
I will look into the info you provided. I also found the rdBloggery example which seems relevant for what I am trying to do. I guess I will have to get used to the required 1-1-1-1 mapping between controller, model, view and database table. I am just not sure it will always work out. E.g. what if I decided, for whatever reason, to store user authentication in a local encrypted file. Would I be able to get that working within the CakePHP framework? Another thing I am wondering about is if I decided to expose some of the features of what I am building through a web service (e.g. SOAP). How could I organize the code so that both my web site and web service implementation are able to reuse the core of the business logic code.
