> Key: SHINDIG-678
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-678
> Project: Shindig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: PHP

> Reporter: Nagy Attila
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: trunk, 1.0.x-incubating

> Attachments: shindig_autoloader_chain-tab.patch

> During integrating shindig with a more complex container it would be nice to
> be possible to use the container's autoloader also. Unfortunately php allows
> only one __autoload method to exists, so it should function as a chain: if
> one does not find the class, then calls the second one.
> As a starting point I've attached my solution on this: I've modified
> Shindig's autoloader so that if the class is not found then it will check the
> 'extension_autoloader' configuration parameter, and if a function named like
> this exists it will call it. This way I could hook up our fairly different
> autoloader, and Service classes are able to call the container's controller
> classes directly.
> Yet there are still a few questions to think about:
> - should this chain be located before, or after shindig autoloader? If it's
> before, it may break shindig, if two classes of the same name exists. If it's
> behind, many unnecessary file_exists() are performed, what is generally not a
> good idea.
> - where should one place his autoloader function? It should be accessible
> from the autoload method, so can't be loaded through the autoloader. This
> could be elliminated if the chained autoloader should be a class method, so
> that it could be loaded through the autloader. Now I just placed my function
> into config/local.php, what works fine also.
> - is this configuration parameter ok?
