'Twas brillig, and Jan Pieper at 14/04/09 12:29 did gyre and gimble:
Why is it needed to create a new controller instance for each
forwarding from one action to another without changing the controller
and/or module? My init()-functionality is not able to handle multiple
calls. Okay I can change it to avoid twice execution but why is it
needed to have multiple instances of one and the same controller?
Yeah I run up against this problem too.
IMO the main dispatch loop should maintain a collection of controllers
and only call "$obj = new $controllerClass" and "$obj->init()" once for
each $controllerClass, then call preDispatch and action method as per
normal.
At present, I have some code in my affected controllers to only run them
once...
public function init()
{
static $done = false;
if (!$done)
{
// Do one time stuff
...
$done = true;
}
}
It's not so bad but like yourself, I'd prefer to have this built in.
