There are three terms being used:
* bootstrap class resource (or initializer)
* bootstrap plugin resource (or initializer)
* resource
The first relates to initializers you create in your bootstrap class --
any protected method beginning with "_init":
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initDocType()
{
// ...
}
}
The second refers to those initializers that are defined in classes and
invoked by the bootstrap -- they live under the
Zend_Application_Resource_ component namespace, and provided pluggable
bootstrap resources for your application. Typically these are referenced
in configuration passed to the bootstrap, and the bootstrap then
instantiates and runs them.
Finally, the third refers to the "things" the initializers create. For
example, one might create the view object, another a database adapter.
If an initializer *returns* something, then the bootstrap stores this as
a resource. You can then retrieve that resource from the bootstrap using
the initializer's name.
