Hey guys,
I'm wondering if anyone has a clue on this one, but I need to check if this
is the standard behavior or not in CakePHP 1.3.
Let's say I want to create a model anywhere in my app. Besides a lot of
other options, I could do this with:
$Post = ClassRegistry::init('Post');
When I trace the call stack of my function, I see that cake invokes EVERY
related model (via belongsTo, hasMany etc.). And it is doing it recursive,
so when I hit a second related model with a back-connection to the first
model, it constructs them another time all the way trough.
I have an app on Cake 1.3 with about 150 models, which are nearly all
related to each other via model-paths/associations. When I trace the call
stack and check what models get constructed, it will end up in constructing
nearly 600 (!) model-classes (some models are instantiated at least 35
times).
I checked this with Cake 2, and it behaves completely different. Only the
models targeted within finds or accessing data from other models, those
models are instantiated. The only thing I know of for the moment is
removing those relations and use on-the-fly bind/unbind within all actions,
but this would be a hell lot of work to do (and easier to migrate the whole
app to cake2).
So my question is:
Is this normal for CakePHP 1.3 to create ALL related models/classes as
well? Did anyone of you had similar problems when the app grew and you had
more than 100 models? I'm really sure I setup all relations correctly and I
already tested a lot if there is any wrong relation that might cause a
recursion loop...
Maybe it's time for splitting the app into smaller services to avoid those
complex relations and recursions...
