This seems like a pretty basic HABTM association. If your join table (products_properties) is as simple as
id product_id property_id then all you need to do is define your model associations as: Product: var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'Property' ); Property: var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'Product' ); Cake will automagically do the rest for you. However if you want to store extra data in the join table then I find it much easier to create a model for the join table and create associations as follows: Product: var $hasMany = array( 'ProductsProperty' ); Property: var $hasMany = array( 'ProductsProperty' ); ProductsProperty: var $belongsTo = array( 'Product', 'Property' ); This way you can run finds and saves on the join table saving extra data with ease, whereas HABTM associations are really only shortcuts to do this without creating the extra model and can complicate things.
