What have you tried?
You can get more documentation in the API
http://api.cakephp.org/class/router#method-Routerconnect

Re: Documentation on modifying default REST routes
Thanks for your patient replies. Yes, I did read it even a few times but
cannot be sure if I understand correctly. The problem is there is no sample
code to test one's understanding.
"edit", "[method]" => "PUT"),
array("id" => "[0-9]+"));
I am guessing that what it means is that the action "edit" uses HTTP PUT
and the parameter passed in is the id field. id field is a digit. What if I
want to pass in 2 or more parameters which are not primary keys? May I know
if this can be done in CakePHP?
Thank you very much.

Re: Documentation on modifying default REST routes
What if the wanted data to be returned is based on data fields other than the id? It is restricting to get data based on id only. Is there some way to get data based on other fields of the table? The id bit probably means that an id is being sent to the method.

The id bit probably means that an id is being sent to the method. A
view method needs an id to return the single thing that is being
viewed whereas the index doesn't need one as it returns a list of all
things.
The same for each of the other methods.
Hope this helps.
Mike.

Documentation on modifying default REST routes
Dear Cakephp gurus,
I am trying to build web services using CakePHP. The default REST routes
are not suitable for me as add, edit, update, delete are already taken up
for other purposes.
I need to modify the default rates. From
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/rest.html,
'index', 'method' => 'GET', 'id' => false),
array('action' => 'view', 'method' => 'GET', 'id' => true),
array('action' => 'add', 'method' => 'POST', 'id' => false),
array('action' => 'edit', 'method' => 'PUT', 'id' => true),
array('action' => 'delete', 'method' => 'DELETE', 'id' => true),
array('action' => 'update', 'method' => 'POST', 'id' => true)));
What does 'id'=>false or true means? I cannot find sufficient documentation in
the API documentation.
I have tried to search everywhere on sample code for CakePHP web services. But
all I found are 2 links on related documentation
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/rest.html
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/views/json-and-xml-views.html
To newbies like me, it is not very helpful although it may be enough for the
experts. Can someone point me to more links?
Thank you very much.
