If you follow the QuickStart[1] when building your app, your application.ini
will have a line like this:
resources.view[] =
That will initialize the built-in view resource.
But if that line isn't there, the "view renderer" action controller help
will lazy-load its own view instance, so that line isn't 100% required
unless you want to access the view from somewhere other than an action
controller (as in OP's case).
If you are not using the view resource, the alternative to getting the view
instance is to pull it form the view renderer:
$viewRenderer =
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('viewRenderer');
if (null === $viewRenderer->view) {
$viewRenderer->initView();
}
$view = $viewRenderer->view;
