The var keyword was deprecated in cake 2 (dropping PHP 4 support), you
should use public instead.
Using dockblock doesn't seem to me the proper way to handle model
properties and configuration. Yeah, I know doctine 2 does that, but it
doesn't make sense to me giving to docblocks that kind of power, as
docblocks are just comments. I would use a yaml or ini file instead.
Talking about the ORM: use of arrays is just bad to return the results,
it's not the right tool for the job.
