REST Application

Hi,

I'm baking project and exposing application via REST using CakePHP 2.5.x.
It's fine but this moment i bake add method in User, follows the code:

    public function add() {
        $this->request->allowMethod('post');
        $this->User->create();
        if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
            $message = 'Saved';
        } else {
            $message = 'Error';
        }

        $this->set(array(
            'message' => $message,
            '_serialize' => array('message')
        ));
    }

Well, i'm using postman for testing requests and create 3 requests:

1. /app/users/add (GET)
{
    "name": "Method Not Allowed",
    "message": "Method Not Allowed",
    "url": "/app/users/add"
}

2. /app/users/add (POST)
{
    "message": "Saved"
}

* no params

3. /app/users/add (POST)

{
    "message": "Error"
}
* params: { data[User][first_name] : '', data[User][last_name] : '', data[User][email] : '' }

In the 2 request I do not pass any argument and even then the user is saved, the validate method is despised.
I need create if for check empty ($this->request->data) or exists solution more elegant ? If yes, my application have many methods add in others controllers, don't repeat yourself, how to do ?
