You shouldnt use Mysql ENUMS, they have some ugly properties.

Any change in the list of allowed fields requires a complete rebuild
of the table, which can take ages. Using a Char and filtering in the
application is much better!

Re: [fw-general] PDO_MYSQL vs. Pdo_Mysql ZF 1 .9.3


sorry but that i dont understand.

The factory makes certain assumptions about what is possible
and what not in creating an adapter. Changing the assumptions
is a B/C break.

Of course its a bug that ZendX Firebird cannot be loaded
from the previous assumptions but that is not a valid cause
to overthrow them. There has to be a BC way to solve both cases.

Additionally this is a change in a mini version, breaking
code that was perfectly valid and should still be valid in all
versions from 1.0 to 1.9.2 updates. I cant understand that
reasoning.

Re: [fw-general] PDO_MYSQL vs. Pdo_Mysql ZF 1 .9.3


a BC change for this bug is simple, just exclude adapterNamespace from
the word-wise ucwords reasoning and append it to the
canonical database adapter name AFTER the changes:

http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/trunk/library/Zend/Db.php

One should just take the adapter namespace out of the normalizing
procedure:

Behaviour = 1.9.2
$adapterName = strtolower($adapterNamespace . '_' . $adapter);
$adapterName = str_replace(' ', '', ucwords(str_replace('', ' ',
$adapterName))); 

Should be behaviour:
$adapterName = strtolower($adapter);
$adapterName = str_replace(' ', '', ucwords(str_replace('', ' ',
$adapterName))); 
$adapterName = $adapterNamespace._.$adapterName;

This way the BC break is on the Adapter Namespace and not on the Adapter
Name.
But since the Namespace implies that is prepended to the classname
there was the assumption that this had to be written correctly, whereas
the adapter name is said to be case-insensitive from the API docs:

First argument may be a string containing the base of the adapter class
name,
e.g. 'Mysqli' corresponds to class Zend_Db_Adapter_Mysqli. This is
case-insensitive.

Which it is now not anymore!

Re: [fw-general] Zend_Entity Entity instantiation quest ion

2009-09-11 Thread Benjamin Eberlei


The createEntity() method in the loader is pretty much internal,
what exactly do you want to inject into a specific entity? You
can overwrite the Mapper however, which instantiates the loaders
and overwrite the method in entity loader.

The Aggregate metadata map has the disadvantage that you either
specify dependencies between different modules or you don't. In
either way you do or don't couple the modules which would speak
for specifying them in either one metadata map, or use two
different entity managers.

The approach you are describing is misusing Zend Entity as a data access

its really not recommended at all and there will be no support with

from the persistence, which is what Zend Entity is about.

It seems however with what you describe Zend_Db_Table is a pretty good

[fw-general] Re: [fw-mvc] Understanding 'Service Layer' and 'Domain Model'

2009-09-02 Thread Benjamin Eberlei

There are two kinds of services:

1. The Service Layer, which is kind of the public API of the model/business
logic/domain
towards the controller and views. This is what fowler describes as Service
Layer pattern.

2. Domain Services, objects that are not entities or value objects,
but still belong to the domain, for example a BillingService or
something. These services are not necessarily public to the controller or
view,
but may be used by the service layer and domain objects internally.

Thanks for the reply. Does this mean that the service layer should

work
on access control for example? I suppose I am having trouble
distinguishing
between 'business logic' in the domain model and whatever needs to go in
the
service layer. Is it just that there aren't particularly any rules
about
what goes where but good practice might be ACL in the service layer?

Colin

Technically services are part of the domain, they have a bit of a
special place in the domain though, they provide services that do not
naturally fit into the domain. (this is how I read the DDD book
anyway)

I have things like IO services as well as things that extend my core
domain models like JSON services that transform the models output into
JSON.

Services are great for keeping things out of the main domain models.

ACL in a service layer makes sense, much more than the in the
application layer as you can then use it outside the MVC triad.

 Hi All,

 I have many domain models where each has its own data mapper. These

 mapper x uses mapper y, c) and even models use mappers (only in the

 I want mappers to utilize the identity map pattern (which is itself
 pretty straightforward). I guess the whole pattern makes more sense
 when used as a shared map across the mappers rather than for each to
 have its own.

 Since the mappers usage (and instantiation) is wide spread (at least
 in my case), the only solution I could think of is always a sort of a
 static one (either through static members, or static managers, or
 even some injectable containers which default to static
 Zend_Registry).

 What would you suggest, other than the static way?

Re: [fw-general] Data Mappers and Relational Modelling

2009-08-29 Thread Benjamin Eberlei

Hello,

lazy loads are implemented by some underyling magic. Say you have a Quiz
with questions and you load the quiz. Instead of adding an array of all the 
questions right away, you build a collection class which implements 
ArrayAccess, Iterator and Countable and takes a PHP Callback which is fired 
upon the first acces of any of those functions. See here:

http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/branches/user/beberlei/Zend_Entity/library/Zend/Entity/LazyLoad/Collection.php

In your example it would look like:

$quiz = $quizMapper-findById(1);

// Inside QuizMapper building the quiz:
$questionsMapper = new QuestionsMapper();
$state['questions'] = new Zend_Entity_LazyLoad_Collection(
array($questionsMapper, loadByQuizId), array($state['id'])
);

This way you have a collection inside your quiz, its just not loaded yet 
though. Only upon first access of this pseudo array all the data is loaded.

Implementing LazyLoad for querying is easy, there are some tricks to do it 
right when saving the collection then if you dont want to completly load it.

greetings,
Benjamin

On Saturday 29 August 2009 08:06:06 am Hector Virgen wrote:
 Thank you for the replies, Dmytro and Keith.
 I just finished reading over the Zend_Db_Mapper proposal, and it is looking
 really nice. It seems to be similar to what I've been putting together,
 which makes me feel confident that I'm at least somewhat on the right
 track.

 I can agree that the entity should not know about the mapper, but without
 it I wasn't able to figure out a way for the entity to support lazy loading
 (where would it load from?). This was the part I struggled with the most,
 because I wanted my entities to know about their relationships:

 $quiz-getOwner(); // lazy loads the owner as a User entity

 Unless I'm missing something, it seems important that a quiz knows about
 its owner if even just for saving purposes:

 class QuizMapper
 {
 /* ... */
 public function save(Quiz $quiz)
 {
 $data = array(
 'title' = $quiz-title,
 'owner_id' = $quiz-owner-id
 );
 // add code to save to persistent storage
 }
 }

 I suppose I could just test if the quiz has an owner object, and save its
 ID if it does, but then I have to account for a quiz that doesn't have an
 owner -- would its value be set to false?

 I think maybe shadow data can help in this case by resorting to the shadow
 value if owner object doesn't exist, allowing me to re-save an entity
 without ever having to load the owner object at all.

 Dmytro, regarding your question about where the collection gets its IDs, it
 is provided by the mapper. For example, my QuizMapper may have a method
 that returns all quizzes owned by a user. But instead of returning an array
 of instantiated Quiz objects, it returns a single Collection object that
 produces Quiz entities when iterated:

 class QuizMapper
 {
 /* ... */
 public function findByUser(User $user)
 {
 $db = $this-getDatabase()
 $select = $db-select()
 -from('quizzes', array('quiz_id'))
 -where('user_id = ?', $user-id)
 ;
 $ids = $db-fetchCol($select);
 $collection = new My_Entity_Collection();
 $collection-setMapper($this);
 $collection-setIds($ids);
 return $collection;
 }
 }

 This allows me to create specialty methods that return entities based on
 any criteria (like for searches, etc) and the collection can be paginated
 with Zend_Paginator. From what I understand, the Zend_Db_Mapper proposal
 also has a collection that is similar to this one.

 What I was also thinking of doing was expanding on the Collection idea and
 making a class that contains information on how to build a reference entity
 using an implementation of the Value Holder type of lazy loading. All this
 class would contain is a mapper, an ID, and a factory method to use the
 mapper to create the entity. Something like this:

 class My_Entity_Reference
 {
 protected $_id;
 protected $_mapperClass;

 public function __construct($id, $mapperClass)
 {
 $this-_id = $id;
 $this-_mapperClass = $mapperClass;
 $this-_method = $method;
 }

 public function getValue()
 {
 $mapper = new $this-_mapperClass();
 return $mapper-find($this-_id);
 }
 }

 I could then use this reference object to give the entity a way to
 lazy-load a single resource without giving the entity access to a mapper.
 Perhaps this would be a good alternative to giving the entity a mapper to
 work with? Or should I be relying on shadow data? Maybe I could use both
 ideas together and use the Reference object as a shadow data by adding a
 getId() method. So many ways to go! :)

Re: [fw-general] Using Zend_Db_Select without a db connection

2009-08-19 Thread Benjamin Eberlei

hello hector,

you can use Zend_Test_DbAdapter, which is a testing adapter that does not 
connect to the database.

 Hello,
 I am currently working on an older project that is not in ZF, but I'd like
 to use Zend_Db_Select to help me build some complex select queries. I don't
 want to open a new connection to the database since this application
 already has one open using good ol' mysql_connect().

 My question is, since Zend_Db uses lazy-loading to create the actual
 connection, would it be safe to create a dummy Zend_Db object to build my
 selects with?

 $db = Zend_Db::factory('Pdo_Mysql', array(
 'host' = '127.0.0.1',
 'username' = 'fakeuser',
 'password' = 'fakepassword',
 'dbname' = 'mydefaultdb'
 ));

 $select = $db-select()
 -from('users');

 $sql = $select-toString();
 *echo $sql; // this works and outputs SELECT * FROM `users`*

 $select = $db-select()
 -from('users')
 *-where('username = ?', 'test'); // throws exception: SQLSTATE[HY000]
 [2013] Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication
 packet', system error: 111*
 It seems that quoteInto() is attempting to connect to the database. Is this
 necessary? Is there a way to stub in a fake database connection in order to
 use Zend_Db_Select?

 One way to find this out, btw, is to run phpunit with the --tap switch.
 This will produce a line of output for each test run -- and thus you'll
 know what test was run immediately prior to the process dying. We used
 this extensively when preparing for 1.9.0 to identify problematic test
 suites.

 As Ralph noted, we have been running the suite regularly, on what is
 basically stock hardware and a stock PHP install.

 One extension that I *know* is problematic when running the entire suite
 is XDebug. Because of all the profiling information it tracks, it can
 often use substantially more memory and run into circular references
 that don't occur under normal PHP usage -- causing the suite to crash.
 (Which sucks, because it'd be really, really nice to get a full coverage
 report of the entire test suite at some point. (-: ) Enable XDebug only
 when trying to profile individual component test suites within ZF.

  I would try commenting out the test run for the  larger components

[fw-general] Proposal for Extensions to Zend_Db_Expr

2009-08-03 Thread Benjamin Eberlei

Hello everyone,

in combination with the Zend_Entity and Zend_Db_Mapper proposals I felt the 
need for an extension of Zend_Db_Expr. This functionality would also be a huge 
step for Zend_Db_Select to abstract vendor specific functionality even more.

A common expression object offers access to abstract from vendor specfic syntax 
of building database queries, conditions, functions and such. It should 
implement as much common functionality of the current supported database 
drivers as possible.

http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Db_Expr+Extension+-+Benjamin+Eberlei

The expression object utilizes Zend_Db_Expr when necessary and offers 
convenience functionality to escape the inputs correctly.

I hope you can give me valuable feedback!

Additionally, this is a funny request, but I would be glad if anyone would 
take this proposal from me and implement it, so I can focus on the Entity and 
Mapper proposals. I guess its easy to implement, unittest and document once 
you have found the subset of functionality that should be supported and the 
public API is fixed.

greetings,
Benjamin

[fw-general] Using a DI Container with Zend_Application

2009-06-16 Thread Benjamin Eberlei

Hello,

I have written a blog post on how to integrate the Yadif DI container with 
Zend_Application (to replace Zend_Registry). It uses Application Resources as 
instances of the DI container and allows to use them as dependencies for any 
objects that are instantiated through the container.

http://www.whitewashing.de/blog/articles/117/

Any other DI container that uses __isset, __set and __get can also be

[fw-general] A Zend_Db Adapter for ext/mysql (mysql_*)

2009-06-13 Thread Benjamin Eberlei

Hello everyone,

I have a project that i slowly want to migrate to Zend Framework. This project 
uses ext/mysql all over the place and therefore requires an adapter of this 
type to keep the number of database connections small. I wrote this adapter 
using soley mysql_* functions, which emulates prepared statements and works 
exactly like any other Zend_Db adapter, even works with Zend_Db_Table.

Its passing all unittests of the Zend_Db test suite so should be pretty 
stable.

 Betreff: [fw-general] Zend JSON umlaut (special chars)




 Hello there,



 I have a problem with encoding an array retrieved from DB. I use this:



 $states = Zend_Registry::get('db')-fetchAll('SELECT state_id AS id,
 name_en AS name FROM core_states WHERE country_id = ?',
 $this-_getParam('countryId'));

 echo Zend_Json::encode($states);



 If the name_en field has an umlaut (from a german state), the encoding will
 return null. So

 [{id:124,name:null},{id:125,...]

 is an example (with only the first element), but when I var_dump the
 encoded var, I get

 array(16) {
   [0]=
   array(2) {
 [id]=
 string(3) 124
 [name]=
 string(17) Baden-Württemberg
   }
 ...



 I see the last version (1.7.8). Did you encounter the same problem?



 Thank you

there is no difference. they both do the same, the first method

It will be removed in 2.0. So you should really just only use

Re: [fw-general] Caching the SoapClient


What authentication?

If you authenticate via a token (which is common for stateless SOAP
servers) you can of course cache the token. But when the SOAP Server is
authenticating via stateful sessioning then you don't need to authenticate
in each request. In either case you don't need to cache the SOAP Client
itsself.

Can you give an example how you authenticate on each request?

 http://tinyurl.com/bym43f

 After having developed several ZF applications in which text had to be
 inserted into PDF templates, I knew there must be a better way and
 went about developing one.

 The result is a project called phpLiveDocx, which is an unofficial
 component for ZF. (If it were to become official component some day, I
 would be thrilled.)

 The idea is really simple:

 1. You design a template in a word processing package (such as Open
 Office or Word). In the template, you define any number of text
 fields, into which data will be later inserted (same idea as
 mail-merge).

 2. Using phpLiveDocx, you assign data to the template.

 3. You generate and save the populated document as a PDF, DOCX, DOC or RTF
 file.

 The great advantage of this approach is that you uncouple the
 formatting of the template and the position of the text fields. In
 other words, should a designer change the layout of a template, there
 is no need for a developer to update the positioning of the text
 fields.

 Of course, the other great advantage is that you can save the
 resulting document as DOCX, DOC or RTF, in addition to PDF.

 Here is a really basic example, which illustrates how phpLiveDocx works:

 http://tinyurl.com/ao9c2v

 (The template and resulting document can be download from the bottom
 of the post.)

 Here is a very short getting started guide and download links:

Re: [fw-general] Zend_JQuery and form select element.

The UiWidgetElement decorator is only for jQuery UI elements, not for other

Re: [fw-general] Best Practices: Eliminate redundancy within various controller init methods?

2009-01-23 Thread Benjamin Eberlei

I would extend Zend_Controller_Action and make an application wide
action controller that has the init function which centralizes all the 
duplicated code.

btw, having the Database connection in the Controller is not best practice at 
all. You have to separate controllers and model, hence it being MVC not VC. I 
suggest a Service Layer between them or Model classes that have an public API 
that says nothing about Databases and stuff.

 Hi,

 Many many thanks for the great set of responses. This helps to clarify

 and confirmed the framework is able to recognize and execute it. However
 there remains one perplexing matter: how do I initialize this action helper
 in a way that makes several of its variables automatically available to all
 controllers? The idea is to completely remove all redundant code from the
 various controllers' init() methods, thereby making the variables within
 the controller available in each controller's $this context.

 Based on your varied responses regarding the action helper, surely there's
 some way to do this? The goal is to use this action helper to make the
 following variables automatically available to all controllers:

 $this-config = Zend_Registry::get('config');
 $this-cache = Zend_Registry::get('cache');
 $this-db = Zend_Registry::get('db');

 Thanks for all of your help!

Re: [fw-general] Is Cal Evan's Globals.php a recommended approach

2009-01-13 Thread Benjamin Eberlei

great post ralph! this is a step into a brighter future ;-D

my two cents though.

1. having __construct(array $options); is cool from a simplicity point but it 
hides dependencies, since in an array you couldinclude ANYTHING. Most 
components also don't require the dependencies to be set in constructor, they 
take all sort of options and set them but don't raise an exception when a 
depdenency xyz misses.

When you have a sensible default depdenency this would make sense though.

ezcComponents uses constructor struct objects for configuration. You would have 
an object Zend_Controller_Config which enforces some variables and is given to 
the constructor. I like this alot, since objects always allow for more checks 
on variables than arrays.

2. component registries are a great thing IF they are not singletonized. They 
allow for type checking and consistency checks where the Zend_Registry does 
not.

You could always make a container go into Zend_Registry to make it global, but 
this should be optional, and pleeease let us just forget the singleton 
antipattern. :-)

If component registries are used we should make sure that all dependencies are 
overwritable with them, for example the PluginLoader of Zend_Controller for 
helpers is hardcoded into the front controller. The component registry should 
include all objects that might impliciltly be set deep in the object graph of 
the component. That would be super!

3. Implicit dependencies and work in the Constructor

Dependency Injection is also about not having implicit dependencies or much 
work in the constructor. We should evaluate all components based on this. 
Having a new Something() inside an object constructor is evil, aswell as 
doing lots of stuff that you cannot influence.

 +1000 here :)  .. Now onto the explanation.

 To sum it up, I do think we need a solution here that will fit the
 framework, specifically our components- framework wide, as well as
 application wide.

 But, DI Containers (to me) have always introduced a level of indirection
 that is extremely uncommon for PHP.  There are two ideas, I would love to
 see explored, and both of them would be rooted in what I would call a
 component development convention, but only at the most forward facing API
 layer.

 First, the __construct($options = array()) {} convention for the most
 forward facing component API constructor adds a level of consistency that
 makes each and every component look and feel similar in style.  This would
 makes it easy to move from component to component and have a good
 understanding of what is expected.  Zend_Form does this, and to me, it make
 for the most flexible of components.  In each case, $options can be a
 Zend_Config object, and assoc array of configuration values which can then
 be pushed down into the varios setXXX() methods, or $options can be the
 single most well used value, (if this were a Zend_Service component, it
 could be the API key).

 I believe this convention is very much used in Solar and its becoming more
 popular in ZF as we see more components hit the library.

 Second, I propose we look at creating a Registry class that can be extended
 (maybe its just a glorified ArrayObject), that can be used and defined by
 each component.  This would allow components to have a *Component Level
 Registry*.  How would this help?  Well, instead of there being a dbAdapter
 key in the Application space registry, Zend_Db_Registry would contain a
 getDefaultAdapter() method.  It might also have a getAdapter($name) method.
 Also, now the Zend_Db component can manage is component level registry and
 made the best decisions on how to lazyload and expose its individual pieces
 to the application layer, or user layer.

 For Zend_Controller, the api might look like this:


 Class Zend_Controller_Registry
 {
 public function getFront();
 public function getDispatcher();
 public function getRouter();
 public function getRequest();
 public function getResponse();
 /* .. Others .. */
 }

 Again, this delegate the responsibility down into the actual component of
 wiring dependencies, and either throwing an exception or lazy

 userland code for how the options are retrieved and passed to the

 etc).

 If you look closely at Ralph's example, you'll notice it wasn't static.

 I've been pushing the setOptions/setConfig paradigm for a while, and it
 works really well with DI. Your constructor then passes the options on
 to setOptions() which attempts to call setters named after the keys. The
 result is that it allows you to push your dependencies in at
 instantiation -- leaving the constructor needing to simply check for
 required settings (if any) only.

Re: [fw-general] Is Cal Evan's Globals.php a recommended approach

2009-01-10 Thread Benjamin Eberlei


the registry is global too and it has no type checking, which makes a
global
class that has setter and getter for specific types winner over a
general registry in my opinion.

static classes that contain objects and are used inside dynamic objects are
always
an obstacle to testing, singletons more than registries but the problem
does not
disappear. a registry is nothing different than a global
$arrayWithObjects; inside a function,
just object oriented.

The recommended approach (that is independend of Zend or whatnot) should
always be explicit
dependency injection.

 This seems useful, particularly if you use it in conjunction with his

 I was wondering if this is the recommended approach to exposing global

 I've had some back and forth with Cal on his Globals class. :)
 
 I personally feel that this is primarily the realm of a registry or
 dependency injection; a class of static methods is typically difficult
 to test against, and makes it more difficult to determine what the
 actual dependencies are for classes that pull from it.
 
 Zend_Application may very well make such a Globals class obsolete, as it
 will make it easier to handle your dependencies and push them either
 into the registry or directly into the objects that need them.

Hello Robert, Hello Josh,

thanks for the comments on jQuery. I do see the point in your criticism and

when you are using it for prototyping, admin areas and scaffolding generation.

If you want to use the jQuery or Dojo for a community like website or very 
heavy workflow optimized behaviour website (like modern enterprise 
applications) you probably always have to get your hands dirty with js code 
yourself. From my personal experience I can say this gives very good results 
with jQuery although i am a very bad frontend programmer. :-)

You can also use cURL as adapter for Zend_Http_Client. There is a
version in the SVN incubator.

The Socket Adapter of Zend_Http_Client has far less functionality
than cURL. You need Zend_Http_Client for certain components that rely
on it (Service_* for example, Zend_Rest).

 If performance is your #1 priority over maintainable code then it's

 However the advantage you gain by using the Zend class is a very easy
 API, easy customization (through options and by extending the API),
 etc. pp.. You can't really compare the two. Point taken, you can use
 both to get the job done, but Zend_Http_Client provides a lot of

 Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover, it looks like it is hard coded to use
RPC/encoded.
 
 What's the best way of allowing document/literal?
 
 1) Hacking Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover to accept document/literal
 or
 2) Sub Class Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover and override the setClass method
 
 Cheers

Re: [fw-general] Help with Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover and array of complex types

2008-12-03 Thread Benjamin Eberlei

Hello Krytie,

the ArrayOfTypeComplex strategy is not ignored. Its used for the first level 
and then replaced by the DefaultComplexType for the second level. I havent 
thought about deeper levels. This is a bug.

I have added an issue to Jira and will look into it for the next release. 
Maybe you should think about writing your own complex strategy that handles
this issue for you in the meantime.

best regards,
Benjamin

 Hi,

 How would I go about defining an array of complex types as a property of
 another complex type? The code below gives me the error.

 Cannot add a complex type MyComplexTypeB[] that is not an object or where
 class could not be found in 'DefaultComplexType' strategy.


 function wsdlAction(){
   $autodiscover = new
 Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover('Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_ArrayOfTypeComplex');
 $autodiscover-setClass('MyClass');
 $autodiscover-handle();
 }



 class MyComplexTypeB{
 /**
  * @var string
  */
 public $FirstName;
 /**
  * @var string

 public $LastName;
 }


 class MyComplexTypeA{

 public $Answers=array();
 }


 class MyClass{
 /**

 * @return MyComplexTypeB[]

 function testRequest($request){}
 }

 It appears to be ignoring the Strategy that I set, when dealing with
 properties of complex types.

Re: [fw-general] QUestion about jQuery ajaxLink- can anyone take a look on this please?

we are already that far. The problem is javascript within that

Re: [fw-general] Calling non-php library

no that is not possible.

however it should be realitvly straightforward to compile the c++ library

sounds, you should find some information by googling that issue :)

Re: [fw-general] Zendx Jquery Datepicker custom viewscript

2008-11-27 Thread Benjamin Eberlei

when you want to seperate design and programming with zend form you can remove 
all markup decorators from the elements and just place them with ?= $form-
element1; ? i think (or was it ?= $form-getElement('element1'); ?).

designers can then build the markup while the programmers just build forms 
that dont have markup decorators (like htmltag, label, dd/dt).

 previously i was trying to do this sort of thing:

 but that removes the datepicker decorators, and i wasn't quite sure how to

 We have a few teams working on the same site here, and would like to  find
 a way to keep markup of forms in the control of the design / front end team
 rather than having the backed team programing them, whilst still using the
 good bits of zend_form.

Re: [fw-general] Validating JQuery forms via AJAX


Hello Manuel,

there is currently no way to validate your form via ajax unless you
implement that yourself.

I might implement that someday, but the form plugin is not part of jQuery
or jQuery UI, so I havent integrated that yet.

Hello,

you could open up an Enhancement/Feature issue in Jira for me
(http://framework.zend.com/issues) and attach the changes. I can review and
test them, and we could then think about how to integrate them into ZF. I
am very interested to contribute an ajax validation, it should be very
robust though, so I cannot guarantee that i can include it.

You have to give dataType = html as additoinal parameter to the options,

Re: [fw-general] jQuery Ajax link inside container- how to make this?

Hello,

i have looked at the issue again, and what you try to achieve is not really 
possible. Because ajaxLink generally creates jQuery javascript and attaches it 
to the jQuery stack which you render with ?= $this-jQuery(); ? in your 
view.

Wenn you call the ajax content and return new links that are created with 
ajaxLink() their javascript cannot be attached to the jQuery stack anymore, 
because that has been rendered before.

What you could try is the following, in the two links that are generated 
through the ajax request set in the options 'inline'  = true, and in the 
previous linke set: 'dataType' = 'script', so that it would look like:

Normally generated link:
 array('update' = '#contentJ',
   'noscript' = false,
   'method' = 'POST',
   'dataType'='script'
 )

Ajax Requested Link:
?php echo $this-ajaxLink(
[ Edit ], /admin/index/edit,
array(  'id' = 'edit',
'update' = '#contentJ',
'noscript' = false,
'inline' = true,
'method' = 'POST'));
