ServiceManager Di Fallback

[macest]

I have a service which is instantiated via the Di and injected into a controller via a ServiceManager factory, which works just fine. However the trouble comes when I want to get this instance from an event (in this case Zend\Mvc\Application::route) that occurs prior to a controller being instantiated. This appears to be due to the DiServiceInitializer, which creates a proxy between the Di and ServiceManager in the ControllerLoaderFactory, not being available until a controller is requested. It seems to me that this proxy should be created earlier on in the Application process so it is usable in such events. Any thoughts?

If you override/extend Zend\Mvc\Service\ApplicationFactory you could add a DiServiceInitializer to the serviceLocator.

This would mean that the ServiceManager in Application would have the proxy between the service manager and di, enabling you to use di and service factories together immediately after the Application object is created.
