1. Yes. Cake has db sessions.. and if data does not line up, just write your own session handler 2. Drop your 3rd party classes in the vendors directory and use them as much or little as you wish 3. Yes thats fine. You might have to help cake figure out what table are named what and related to what, since you are not going along with cakes default naming scheme. But you can set it up fine to wok with your database, whatever the scheme, and then of course use CRUD.
