Or am I completely missing the point of Zend_Application and is there
already a better way of doing this?
You already identified the way to do this: controller plugins.
Matthew is right, controller plugins are the ideal way to hook into the
dispatch cycle with runtime logic.
Another consideration might be if you have stateful information that
your modules Action Controllers might need. If this is the case, (more
advanced usage), you might want to create an abstract action controller
for your module that all action controllers will inherit. Whatever
methods you decide to override, be sure to call the related parent
method. For example, if you inject your logic into __constrcut(), be
sure to also call parent::__construct().
This method will allow you to keep Action Controller specific stateful
logic inside your action controller which will be executed every time an
action controller is loaded and dispatched.
