Re: Seeking clarification

The only reason $name was set in your own classes in older versions was for support in PHP 4. The code below is the same code as in previous versions but in PHP < 5 MyClassName would be returned as myclassname. To make conventions work I suggested people set the $name attribute when I first wrote the code. You can removed defining it in your classes.

IMO, only reason to add $name property could be - extending class
(controller/model) where it is defined as well.

For example, core PagesController contains line -

public $name = 'Pages';

- therefore your controller

class MyPagesController extendsPagesController { ... }

will need $name property correctly defined also, because of viewPath
used in rendering process.
