Zend_Server Class

e_schrade wrote a neat way of doing things in the ser­vice layer; Let’s take a quick look at some­thing that’s kind of neat in Zend Frame­work. I’ve been doing some work with Adobe on some arti­cles and one of them was on work­ing with mobile clients with Flash. Well, me being the masochist I did more. What I did was write an exam­ple that worked as a full web­site, an Ajax web­site, a Flash ser­vice and an XML-RPC service.

Looks like a lot, right?  Actu­ally there’s not much there.  Here’s the logic flow.

  • Is it an XMLHTTP Request and is it a POST? Cre­ate the Json server
  • Is it an AMF request? Cre­ate the AMF server
  • Is it an Xml­Rpc request? Cre­ate the Xml­Rpc server
  • Is it an XMLHTTP Request and is it a GET? Cre­ate the Ser­vice Map (for JSON-RPC 2.0)
  • If a ser­vice han­dler has been cre­ated add all of the application’s map­pers, attach the ser­vice han­dler to the request and redi­rect to the ser­vice action.

And with that you have an appli­ca­tion that can serve con­tent for mul­ti­ple dif­fer­ent types of ser­vice with almost no effort on your part.  At least.. if you copy and paste this code.

Have a good Friday!!!

Testing Zend Framework controllers in isolation

What I do is I have my con­trollers fetch all their depen­den­cies from the boot­strap and/or front con­troller. The most com­mon exam­ple is to pull the db resource from the bootstrap:

// in controller
$db = $this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap')->getResource('db');

But I also take it a step fur­ther. For exam­ple, if I’m using data map­pers, I have the action con­troller check the front con­troller for the data map­per I need:

// in controller
$postsMapper = $this->getInvokeArg('posts_mapper');

I then update your unit test to inject the posts map­per with a stub:

// in unit test
$this->frontController->setParam('posts_mapper', $stubPostsMapper);

How­ever, that invoke arg won’t exist in pro­duc­tion, so I wrap that call in an if state­ment a la “lazy load­ing” style:

if (null === ($postsMapper = $this->getInvokeArg('posts_mapper'))) {
    $postsMapper = new Default_Model_Mapper_Posts();
}

What this does is it allows me to stub in my stub posts map­per in my unit tests while let­ting the con­troller lazy-load the real one in production.

An alter­na­tive is to use Zend_Registry, but I find this to be a bit cleaner with­out the sta­tic calls.

Zend Framework 2.0 (2.0.0dev1)

Yes­ter­day, the Zend Frame­work team tagged the first devel­op­ment mile­stone of Zend Frame­work 2.0 (2.0.0dev1). It is imme­di­ately down­load­able from the Zend Frame­work servers:

* Zip package:

http://framework.zend.com/releases/ZendFramework-2.0.0dev1/ZendFramework-2.0.0dev1.zip

* tar.gz package:

http://framework.zend.com/releases/ZendFramework-2.0.0dev1/ZendFramework-2.0.0dev1.tar.gz

NOTE! This release is not con­sid­ered of pro­duc­tion qual­ity, and is released solely to pro­vide a devel­op­ment snap­shot for pur­poses of test­ing and research. Use at your own risk.

This release is the cul­mi­na­tion of sev­eral months of work, and incor­po­rates the fol­low­ing features:

* Removal of all require_once statements.

* Migra­tion to namespaces.

* Refac­tor­ing of the test suite, including:

* Removal of all “AllTests.php” files.

* Removal of unref­er­enced test classes.

* Lim­ited refac­tor­ing to move helper classes into their own files.

* Refac­tor­ing of con­di­tional tests.

* Rewrite of Zend\Session from the ground up. This required cre­ation of a new com­po­nent, Zend\SignalSlot, for han­dling observers and cre­at­ing fil­ter chains.

* Addi­tion of a new Zend\Stdlib name­space for inter­faces and util­ity classes; in par­tic­u­lar, we added exten­sions to SplQueue, SplStack, and  Spl­Pri­or­i­tyQueue to cre­ate seri­al­iz­able ver­sions of these classes.

We have done some “real-world” test­ing of the release by build­ing the Quick Start appli­ca­tion, as well as migrat­ing an exist­ing demo appli­ca­tion to ZF2. We were able to achieve both goals, demon­strat­ing that while the release is cer­tainly pre-alpha, it is def­i­nitely functional.

There is much work yet to be done. Today, we pub­lished a rough roadmap of mile­stones we will be work­ing towards (1). This roadmap only addresses com­po­nents with cross-cutting con­cerns, but serves as a guide for devel­op­ment in the com­ing months. If you are inter­ested in con­tribut­ing, be sure to sign our Con­trib­u­tors License Agree­ment (CLA), and read the “README-DEV.txt” file in the release. We also sug­gest you join the zf-contributors mail­ing list (2), and join in dis­cus­sions on the #zftalk.dev IRC chan­nel on Freenode.

A contents index for Zend Framework manual pages

The good old Zend Frame­work man­ual pages do suf­fer from being some­what lengthy. I’ve thought they could do with an index to make nav­i­ga­tion eas­ier on those oh-so-long pages. So I wrote a quick JavaScript book­marklet to do just that.

Tutorial: Getting Started with Zend_Auth

Rob Allen writes; After too many months of neglect, I have com­pletely rewrit­ten my Zend_Auth tuto­r­ial so that it is com­pat­i­ble with Zend Frame­work 1.10!

As an exper­i­ment, I have writ­ten it directly in HTML, rather than PDF as before and cover the login form along with the login con­troller code required to authen­ti­cate a user using a data­base table. For good mea­sure, I’ve included log­ging out and a view helper to show how to access the logged in user’s details.

The full source code is also avail­able, if you don’t want to type it in :)

I hope you find it useful.

OpenStack.org: RackSpace Open Sources Their Cloud Services Platform, And Gets NASA On Board

Host­ing com­pany Rack­Space is open sourc­ing the soft­ware behind its cloud stor­age and com­put­ing plat­forms on Mon­day, the com­pany is say­ing. The com­pany is also prepar­ing to launch Open­Stack, an open source cloud plat­form, and will donate the open source code to that project.

NASA is also incor­po­rat­ing tech­nol­ogy from the NASA Neb­ula Cloud Plat­form into the Open­Stack project, says RackSpace.

Rack­Space says they want to drive inter­op­er­abil­ity in cloud ser­vices to avoid ven­dor lock-in, and help cre­ate indus­try stan­dards. More than 25 com­pa­nies have shown inter­est in the project, says Rack­Space, or are actively work­ing on the code. They include AMD, Cit­rix, Cloud.com, Cloud­kick, CloudSwitch, Dell, enStra­tus, Fath­omDB, Lime­light, Nicira, NTT DATA, Opscode, Peer 1, Pup­pet Labs, RightScale, Rip­tano, Scalr, Son­ian, Spice­works and Zuora.

The code is being released under the extremely flex­i­ble Apache 2 license, mean­ing third par­ties can redis­trib­ute the code, build pro­pri­etary soft­ware around the code, and dis­trib­ute it with few restrictions.

Complete Doctrine 1.2x Integration with Zend Framework 1.10+

To achieve com­plete Doc­trine 1 inte­gra­tion with Zend Frame­work some glue is required, Ben­jamin Eber­lei has cre­ated a com­plete solu­tion thats straight for­ward, easy to use and understand.

This project tries to offer a com­plete Inte­gra­tion of Doc­trine 1 with Zend Frame­work. The fol­low­ing com­po­nents belong to this Integration:

  • Zend_Application Resource
  • Zend Frame­work Mod­u­lar Project Support
  • Zend_Tool Provider for Doc­trine Model Gen­er­a­tion, Migra­tions and Fixtures
  • Zend_Paginator Adapter for Doc­trine Queries
  • Dynamic Zend_Form gen­er­a­tion from Doc­trine Models

This inte­gra­tion requires the lat­est Doc­trine ver­sion 1.2.2 to work completely

Get it!

SVN Export or Externals

Github offers SVN Read sup­port for a while now, you can either use svn export or svn:externals to include ZFDoc­trine into your project or into your PHP Include Path.

svn checkout http://svn.github.com/beberlei/zf-doctrine.git

Git Clone

git clone git://github.com/beberlei/zf-doctrine.git

If you fol­low the tuto­r­ial and instal­la­tion steps your will get this in ZFTool.
