Yes, you are welcome to use individual components of Zend Framework
without using the MVC portion. One of the design goals of Zend
Framework was to have very loose coupling between the individual
components, so that this would continue to be possible. Where there is
a relationship between components, it should be optional and not used by
default.
For example, metadata caching in Zend_Db_Table uses Zend_Cache, but this
feature is not invoked unless you create a Zend_Cache object and pass it
to Zend_Db_Table.
As for using ez components, I don't know anything about your project;
only you can judge whether ez components meets your requirements.
(how's that for diplomacy? :-)

Subject: [fw-general] Using Zend Framework as component library
Hi,
I've got my own MVC setup that I've been using for a while. I'd
like to integrate a lot of the Zend components into my framework, but
NOT use the MVC part. At this point, the Zend_Http_Request and Zend_View
classes seem pretty clean and separate from the MVC framework side of
Zend. So in other words, is the goal to create re-usable components that
aren't necessarily tied into the MVC part? Would I be better off using
something like EZ Components?
Thanks!
