Hi, We've seen a lot of questions over recent weeks about how to structure bootstrap scripts, how to instantiate application resource objects like db connections, and whether we should use configuration files in Zend Framework applications.
I've posted a set of proposals to try to address some of these use cases: Zend_Application - a general-purpose bootstrap class, optionally driven by a configuration file. http://framework.zend.com/wiki/x/K48 Zend_Application_Resource - a solution to use configuration files to instantiate application resources from the bootstrap. http://framework.zend.com/wiki/x/lY4 Zend_Config usage in factories and constructors - slightly related to the above (also related to the solution in ZF-1775), this will make it simpler to code Zend_Application_Resource plugins. http://framework.zend.com/wiki/x/Go4 Another goal of these proposals is to create an environment in which it is simple to design command-line tools or visual/IDE tools that generate code and populate a directory structure for skeleton MVC applications. Soon there will be proposals related to these use cases. Regards, Bill Karwin
