I figured out how to solve the problem of the library, just insert these lines into application.ini file:
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/var/lib" autoloadernamespaces.zenit = "Company_" and then putting all common code under a directory called Company in the include path, in my case APPLICATION_PATH . '/var/lib' I still have the problem for resource autoloading into modules, but also in that I made some progress, I remain only with a little problem regarding default module. Since this problem is related to a different question I opened a new thread for that at: http://www.nabble.com/Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap-doesn%27t-work-with-default-module-td24062377.html Bye. fab2008 wrote: > > I just started to migrate my main application to ZF 1.8.x, I love > Zend_Application since it promotes reuse and configuration made all using > config.ini.
