CakePHP - Controller without View & Model

Question

How do I create a controller with no view and model?
Making a services_controller to spit out json.

This is what I have now.

var $uses = array();

function test() {
    $this->autoRender = false;
    echo "test";
}

However, that doesn't print out the "test" message.

Answer 1

The above code actually works. The issue was somewhere else related to the Auth component.

Answer 2

Just write $this->autoRender = false; at the end of the function. It will surely work.
