Hi. This is an interesting question - something I've recently tackled
myself.
I read through this topic in several of the ZF books to get an idea. I
concluded (rightly or wrongly) that if you want to handle all of the
standard http actions (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE) then it is best to sub-class
your controller from Zend_Rest_Controller. In my case I only want to handle
GET/POST so I decided to sub-class from from Zend_Controller_Action and put
the call to Zend_Rest_Server in an action. So, really within an action
method I just do:
$request = $this->getRequest();
$params['method'] = $request->getParam('action');
$params['request']['object'] = $request;
$restServer = new Zend_Rest_Server();
$restServer->setClass('My_API_Rest_Server');
$restServer->handle($params);
And the My_API_Rest_Server class takes over processing.
Note that I found that I had to send through the request object to access
stuff from it - it seems a bit direct but I couldn't figure out a better way
to deal with that requirement. If anyone knows a better/cleaner way please
say so...thanks.
I'd be interested to hear other opinions too.
Regards,
Narinder.
