Hi Ian,
If your application has only one view object, then using the registry is
ok, but all controllers will write to the same view object, possibly
polluting it or causing name clashes. If your application never uses
more than a single controller, then pollution and name collision won't
occur within this view object accessed via the registry.
However, if your application uses multiple view objects, using the
setParam() approach works nicely, to keep the different view objects
separated. The ZFDemo tutorial uses the setParam() approach.
Cheers,
Gavin

HI
What is the preferred method for having global data:
ie in Boot
$controller->setParam('view', $view);
Zend_Registry::set('view', $view);
in Controller
/**
*
*/
protected $_view = null;
// }}}
// {{{ __init()
public function init()
{
// Maps to arg 'view' from: $frontController->setParam('view',
$view);
$this->_view = $this->getInvokeArg('view');
}
// }}}
or
// Add items required from the registry
$view = Zend_Registry::get('view');
