Best practice with routes management using separate .ini

[Razorblade]

Hi all,
in my ZF project I have lots of different routes that now are defined within the application.ini using the "resources.router", resources.router.routes.login.* for example .

Searching on the web I found that some people are using a separate ini file only for routes, called route.ini or routes.ini, omitting the "resources.router" part when adding a route.

So my questions are:

- is it a good practice to store route configuration in a separate file?
- is there a standard name for this file?
- how and where load it?
- I've already an idea about the above questions answers,  so I give it a try, and loading the routes with  "resources.router" throws a Zend_Controller_Router_Exception 'No route configuration in section 'routes'', why?

Thanks to everyone will help me to make it clear.

I suggest creating a new bootstrap resource plugin by the same name
"router", extend the ZF one, and add your own logic to pull the config from
a separate file.

Something like this should do the trick:

http://pastie.org/2377345

Then update your application.ini with this line:

resources.router.configPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/configs/routes.ini"

The benefit is that you can still leverage the logic in the original ZF
router bootstrap resource plugin and pretty much copy/paste the routes from
application.ini to routes.ini. Just remove "resources." from the beginning
of each line.

I hope this helps!

Thank you Hector for your suggestion, it helped me.
I thought there was some sort of self-recognition in ZF by calling the file with that name.

And also I use bootstrap resource a lot and I like them so much.

Bye!
