legacy database, not able to set my own primary key for a view

First day checking out cake, but can't get what seems like the
simplest of things to work.

My old database table named 'sites' has a primary key of 'SiteID'. I
read that in order to tell cake to use that instead of 'id', I should
use this in the model file.

var $primaryKey = 'SiteID';

In my controller i have:

function view($id)
{
$this->set('data', $this->Site->read());
}

I get error: SQL Error: 1054: Unknown column 'Site.id' in 'where
clause'
