I also use a master/slave connection in my project and IMO there is no generic approach for this problem. Each action must be considered critical (master) or not (slave) by admitting for none critical action we can sometimes have wrong data due to replication lag or others problems.
In symfony2 i have implemented the following thing to easily choose the specific connection for my controllers action I have - 2 DBAL and 2 EntityManager : master and slave with master by default (So you can inject the correct dbal or entitymanager to use for your services) - An abstract class : ConnectionController - An annotation : Connection - A controller listener fired on kernel.controller event : ConnectionControllerListener When my controller is an instance of ConnectionController i look at the Connection annotation in the action method to choose which EntityManager to inject to my controller and if there is no annotation i inject default EntityManager. regardes, Joël -- If you want to report a vulnerability issue on symfony, please send it to security at symfony-project.com You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony developers" group.
