Actions in CakePHP can be any public method on a controller, that is not declared in Controller. If you
want controller methods to be public and in-accessible by URL, then prefix them with a _.
For example public function _loadPosts() { } would not be accessible via URL. Private and protected methods
are also not accessible via URL.
If no controller of given name can be found, invoke() will throw an exception. If the controller is found, and the action is not found an exception will be thrown.
