Hi Jörg, You could likely add such behaviour if you wanted by subclassing the Zend_Controller_Action class - actually you do quite a lot of setup tasks using subclassing. Since render() is a public method, you can subclass Action and add your own version to meet any requirements you wish.
I wouldn't really recommend it for the core class however - there's already a View object and while some proxy methods are a welcome addition the more they are added to the less the core class starts to look like an independent entity.

I have a suggestion to the new Zend_Controller_Action->render() method. Wouldnt it be nice to pass additional parameter to the render method for the view ? e.g. public function render($action = null, $name = null, $noController = false, $params=array()). So you dont have to instantiate the view in an action befor you can pass parameter to it. <?php . public function errorAction() { $this->initView(); $this->view->errorMessage = "Login or password is wrong!" $this->render(); } . ?> Or did i missed something?
