Question

I have some form, and one column have Entity type, but this entity have another connection.

In action i can $em->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager('name')

How to change connection in form class?

Maybe can possibly change connection in entity class.
Like this

orm:
    default_entity_manager: default
    entity_managers:
        owner:
            connection: owner
            mappings:
                RealestateCoreBundle:
                    Entity: MyEntity

UPDATED:

I found answer here 🙂

http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/reference/forms/types/entity.html#em

But how i can change connection in data fixtures class?

I try:

<?php

namespace Realestate\CoreBundle\DataFixtures\ORM;

use Doctrine\Common\DataFixtures\FixtureInterface;
use Realestate\CoreBundle\Entity\Owner;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerAwareInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;

class OwnerFixtures implements FixtureInterface, ContainerAwareInterface
{

    private $container;

    public function setContainer(ContainerInterface $container = null)
    {
        $this->container = $container;
    }

    public function load($manager)
    {
        $this->container->get('doctrine')->getEntityManager('owner');

        for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) {
            $owner = new Owner();
            $owner->setName('name-' . $i);
            $owner->setTelephone(mt_rand(100000, 999999));
            $manager->persist($owner);
        }

        $manager->flush();
    }

}

but didnt work 🙁

When loading fixtures you can use the flag when executing the console command to change the entity manager:

Executing Fixtures

php app/console doctrine:fixtures:load --em=manager_name

Alternatively you could check out this section in the same docs:

Using the container in fixtures

If your fixture class has access to the container then you could load any entity manager you wish.

$container->get('doctrine')->getEntityManager('manager_name');
