For CakePHP 2.4 and above, you can do this instead.

http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/views/json-and-xml-views.html#jsonp-response

So you can simply write:

$this->set('_jsonp', true);

in the relevant action.

Or you can simply write:

/**
 *
 * beforeRender method
 *
 * @return void
 */
    public function beforeRender() {
        parent::beforeRender();
        $this->set('_jsonp', true);
    }
