Re: Model/controller naming question - object name ends in 's' :
If you specify $this-name in the model and controller, and the variable $this-useTable in the model, you can use which names of the database table, model and controller you'd ever want, without using custom inflection. E.g. I have a database table named news with the model named News and the controller named NewsController...

CakePHP looks like just what I was looking for :) The issue is with business objects that end with the character 's'. I have a model that i'd like to call lens. That would make the controller called lenss_controller, which is only a problem because it appears in the URL. It would also mean a database table called lenss. Is there a way to give everything sensible names? Right now my solution is to call the model len, the controller lens_controller, and the database table lens.

Re: Problem with custom routes
I still have my problem, and when I print the content of $this-params with: pr($this-params) in the app_controller, the $this- params['week'] and $this-params['year'] still contains the same value (the week value). I have managed to access the year value with $this-params['pass'][0], but I don't like that solution... The custom regular expressions is working as expected, because when I go to the url i.e. /week/2/20008 it returns an error (because of the incorrect year value).

Problem with custom routes
Hello!
I have a problem with a custom route and accessing the info with $this-
params...
My route look like this:
Router::connect('/week/:week/:year', array('controller' = 'dates',
'action' = 'week','week' = null, 'year' = null), array('year' =
'([12][0-9]{3})', 'week' = '([1-9]|[1-4][0-9]|5[0-3])'));
As you can see the week and year is optional...
In the week-action in the DatesController I try to access the week and
year with $this-params['week'] and $this-params['year']. When I go
to the url i.e. /week/2/2008, both the params get the value of the
week (2, in this case)... Why is that? Does anyone have a clue?

Re: Am I trying to do the impossible (or impractical)?
As I said in my first post: just remember to name the associations
different names ...
I prefer this method over Rhee's suggestion with a bool for the
default address in the database... I think it looks nicer and feel
more OO :)

Well that kind of worked!
I have put:
var $hasMany = array(
'Address' = array('className' = 'Address',
'foreignKey' =
'customer_id'
),
);
var $belongsTo = array(
'Address' = array('className' = 'Address',
'foreignKey' =
'default_address_id',
),
);
It's doing it because with the same name the multi dimensional array
of hasMany Addresses is being added to/merged with the result of your
belongsTo Address.
Change the name of one of those aliases (e.g. 'Address' change to
'DefaultAddress').

Re: Am I trying to do the impossible (or impractical)?
zonium: yes, you're absolutely right. and I haven't tested it...
Remember to put two associations in the address model as well, address
hasOne (or hasMany, depending on what you want) customer
(default_address_id) and address belongsTo customer...

I think your setup is not impractical, in fact it's a very common type
of relationships, for example:
User hasMany Address, and there is one Address that is used as
default
Theme hasMany Layout, and there is one Layout that is set as current
etc.
Using array as Christopher suggested is a solution I often use, but
specifying an additional association as J.B. described seems to be a
better solution.
However, the association should be 'belongsTo' instead of
'hasOne' (not sure if J.B. has tested)
The reason is default_address_id' is foreign_key in customers table,
and it corresponds to address_id on addresses table.
in the Customer model, try
$belongsTo = array(
'Address' = array('className' = 'Address',
'foreignKey'
= 'default_address_id',
),
);
in the controller, try:
$this-Customer-findAll(array(id='123456'))
and you will see the default address followed by an array of addresses
(including the default address as well !)

Code:

I think it's something like that :P
