Zend Log resource

Answer 1

Good question. I can’t find a way to instantiate the Zend_Log_Writer_Db from a bootstrap config. The writer class requires a Zend_Db_Adapter object. It doesn’t accept a string.

The ZF project needs to develop this use case further. They don’t even have any unit tests for Zend_Application_Resource_Log that include a Db writer.

The best I can suggest until then is that you Bootstrap class needs to customize the Log resource in an _initLog() method.

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{

  protected function _initDb()
  {
    if ($this->hasPluginResource("db")) {
      $r = $this->getPluginResource("db");
      $db = $r->getDbAdapter();
      Zend_Registry::set("db", $db);
    }
  }

  protected function _initLog()
  {
    if ($this->hasPluginResource("log")) {
      $r = $this->getPluginResource("log");
      $log = $r->getLog();

      $db = Zend_Registry::get("db");
      $writer = new Zend_Log_Writer($db, "log", ...columnMap...);
      $log->addWriter($writer);

      Zend_Registry::set("log", $log);
    }
  }

}
