Pagination question

Hello everyone,

My first post to this list. I've been digging the conversation here.
Glad to know there's a healthy support community around Cake.

I have a situation where I have a somewhat elaborate routing scheme
for fetching a list of products. I'd like to be able to paginate this
list and have indeed got everything working that I need on the actual
pagination processing. What's missing is the ability to pass the page
number to my Products controller. None of my intuitive attempts at
making this work have succeeded. I'm on Cake 1.2.

Example: Let's say I want a list of all products of size Junior and
category Apparel. The URL would look something like:

http://mysite.com/ps-junior/c-apparel

My route will then hand off the appropriate args to my controller.
However, if I add a page number, viz:

http://mysite.com/ps-junior/c-apparel/page:2

I still get only the first page. So...is there a way to set the page
number, say, from within the controller? I can't access the
$paginator object (I think), so maybe I can set a value within the
$paginate property of the controller?

Here's my route declaration for reference:

// routes for product listing views -- flexible enough to handle
leaving out any args
Router::connect(
'/:type/:category/:product_size_category/:product_size/:color/:gender/
:vendor/:date/:page',
array(
'controller' => 'products', 'action' => 'index', 'type' => null,
'category' => null,
'product_size_category' => null, 'product_size' => null, 'color'
=> null,
'gender' => null, 'vendor' => null, 'date' => null, 'page' => null
),
array(
'pass' => array('type', 'category', 'product_size_category',
'product_size',
'color', 'gender', 'vendor', 'date', 'page'),
'type' => 'designers|whats-new|sale',
'category' => 'c-[a-zA-Z0-9&%\{\}_-]+',
'product_size_category' => 'psc-[a-zA-Z0-9\{\}_-]+',
'product_size' => 'ps-[a-zA-Z0-9\{\}_-]+',
'color' => 'cl-[a-zA-Z0-9\{\}_-]+',
'gender' => 'for-[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+',
'vendor' => 'v-[a-zA-Z0-9\{\}_-]+',
'date' => '\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d',
'page' => 'page:\d+'
)
);

Can anyone shed some light?

Many thanks,
