> Did you rewrite all the Zend_Controller package?

I think the biggest issue is:
Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Abstract

At the moment I’m not using any of the action helper classes. However, if you want to avoid singletons, you can pass an instance of Zend_Controller_Front to Zend_Controller_Action, and Zend_Controller_Action to Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Abstract.

Using a Singleton in other classes means hard coding components. There’s no way to replace that piece of the puzzle.

Well, Matthew Weier O’Phinney has written a blog post in which he shows how to extend Zend_Controller_Front so that every place that makes a call to Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance() will actually get an instance of My_Controller_Front. IMO though, this is bad. It’s a deceiving API. One would expect an instance of ZCF whereas he actually gets an instance of My_Controller_Front.

These being said… Federico, how did you solve the problem of hard coded calls to Zend_Controller_Front? Did you rewrite all the Zend_Controller package? Does it pass all ZF tests when plugged in the place of the shipped ZC package?

I haven’t benchmark any “Hello World” app yet. Only ZF components and my own app.

Zf_Controller is lighter than Zend_Controller, it loads less classes. Anyway, that doesn’t mean your app will perform better, since all applications are different. It can help you squeeze more requests per second perhaps, or make your life easier :)

I’ll release version 0.1 after documenting everything.

where’s the meat.. er.. the source of Zf_Controller?

have you notice an increase in performance ?

But i dont know why do you want to remove singleton.
