You can use Cake's routing to get this to work.

Add the following to your app/Config/routes.php

Router::connect('/Controller/page1', '/Controller/view/page1');

But you will have to add a route for every 'page'.

You can use a wildcard route to match everything starting with /Controller/:

Router::connect('/Controller/*', '/Controller/view/');

Or, without touching routes:

class FooController extends AppController

    public function index($stub) {

        $data = $this->findByStub($stub);

        if (!$data) {
            die('page not found');
        }

        $this->set('data', $data);

    }

}

}

Which allows you to have urls such as /foo/page1

(The routine looks for a Foo with a stub field matching 'page1')

This works, but you will loose the benefit of reverse routing which means you can make links like this: $this->Html->link(array('controller'=>'foo', 'action'=>'view', 'page1'); which cake will automagically rewrite to produce: /foo/page1
