Why should developers need to clear the cache when a new class is added? I can tell you that every time I type 'symfony cc', I ask myself why symfony can't figure out on its own that the cache needs to be cleared (or updated) and handle that job itself. I know I'm not alone.
Furthermore, why discount the idea of allowing a developer to disable caching altogether? Of course performance would be impacted. That's to be expected. I find it quite surprising that symfony, while very configurable, doesn't currently support this -- especially in light of the fact that it can't completely manage its cache w/ out user intervention. -- Kevin On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 11:10 AM, Fabien Potencier < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The problem is that the symfony autoloading mecanism allows you to have > the structure you want for your classes.
