Zend Framework Dispatch Workflow Diagram

| 15 comments | May 12th, 2009

I've been researching Zend Framework lately and was curious about what's actually happening behind the scene of the whole dispatch process. Inspired by Thorsten Ruf's (zenddispatch_en.pdf) clear and beautifully presented workflow, I decided to go a step deeper and crawl Zend Framework's code. I came up with my own version of the flexible yet complicated workflow.

I did once a simplified version of the dispatch proccess tracing Plugins, Action Helpers and Controller life-cycle.

Very nice and deep view of the dispatch process!

My intension for creating the "Dispatch Process Overview" – Diagram was to draw a simple overview for daily use.

These two diagrams in combination should answer a lot of questions about the Front Controller process.

Again, very nice diagram!

And thx for the credits.

This is nice! Many thanks!
Could you render a pdf with the text as vectors instead of pixels, or provide a version with a mich higher resolution?
I could do it for you too.

I’m not sure why the old file space deleted my file. But I found a friend that is kind enough to borrow me a tiny space to host my PDF. I’ve updated the link now, and it should be working once the article have been approved. Stay tune….again. Apologies to all.

- P.W.
