Question

I am about to develop a set of custom Ajax/rss/etc functions, both abstract, and then ones to be used in controllers. I was thinking of separating these methods based on return type.

I have a controller which will be enormous if I don’t break down the logic.

I was thinking maybe a module – like

Modules/Admin/AnalyticsController
Modules/AjaxApi/AnalyticsController
Modules/RssApi/AnalyticsController

Any advice is appreciated!

Have you considered using or overriding or creating your own Context Switcher. You can read more here http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.actionhelpers.html

This has the features you need without needing to create new controllers for each action.
