Hi,
My expertise is in J2EE, I'm new to symfony and PHP, but I'm using
these for my current side-project.
I am currently trying to integrate symfony 1.2 with the Zend Lucene
Search library shipped with ZendFramework 1.7.5. I notice that
symfony has a plugin for this, but it seems to be in a beta release,
and it also seems to be Doctrine based, whereas I'm using Propel. So
I am leaning toward interfacing with the Zend libraries myself.
The question I have is how to deal with the Zend's class loading.
I've added my zend libraries to <project-dir>/lib/vendor/Zend/Search.
However, whenever I instantiate my index, eg:
// Create index
$index = Zend_Search_Lucene::create(sfConfig::get
('app_zend_search_index_location', true));
I am running into errors because Lucene.php has a ton of require
statements, based on its own path structure, eg:
require_once 'Zend/Search/Lucene/Search/QueryParser.php';
What's the best way around this? A few options come to mind:
1) Simply comment out all the require statements and rely on Symfony's
autoloading feature. I am not crazy about this option because it is a
vendor product, and creates maintenance overhead.
2) Somehow allow Zend to pick up these require statements. I'm not
quite sure how to go about doing this. I did some reading on the
autoloader, and if I am going to modify my autoloader, I'd like to get
an idea for best practices on this front.
For example, I have another vendor product - the Swift mailer. The
mailer didn't have this kind of issue, because it has its own class
loader to resolve this stuff. So if I modify the autoloader config,
I'd like to adopt an approach that works well across the whole
project. I haven't been able to dig up some good examples to base my
approach on yet.
Your feedback and discussion is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
