Configuring Zend Framework 2 AbstractPluginManager

Question

I've spent a little while trying to trace my way through the ZF2 code and documentation, but I can't seem to find an explanation for a way to extend the configuration using the global config for an instance of Zend\\Service\\AbstractPluginManager when it has been registered as a service manager with the service listener.

An overview of the classes I have created:

• AssetManager\\AssetFilterPluginManager : extends AbstractPluginManager

• AssetManager\\Service\\AssetFilterManagerFactory : A factory extending Zend\\Mvc\\Service\\AbstractPluginManagerFactory with the const PLUGIN_MANAGER_CLASS set to "AssetManager\\AssetFilterManagerFactory"

• AssetManager\\AssetFilterProviderInterface : The module feature interface

In the config/module.config.php I have configured the service listener as follows:

'service_listener_options' => array(
    array(
        'service_manager' => 'AssetFilterManager',
        'config_key'      => 'asset_filters',
        'interface'       => 'AssetManager\AssetFilterProviderInterface',
        'method'          => 'getAssetFilterConfig',
    ),
),

The service manager config contains the definition of AssetFilterManager :

'service_manager' => array(
    'factories' => array(
        'AssetFilterManager' => 'AssetManager\Service\AssetFilterManagerFactory',
    ),
),

Having read through the usage of these options in the view helpers code, this is my understanding of how the configuration should be laid out. Looking at the config_key option in the service listener options, it would seem that the configuration should be passed to the plugin manager to configure the services, but I can't determine where or whether this happens. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the implementation.

My goal is a pluggable service manager extension that functions much like Zend's built-in controller plugins and view helper managers. If there's anyone with any greater experience using these features than me, I would appreciate any insight.

You cannot configured the service listener in the config/module.config.php, service_listener_options is part of config/application.config.php. This configuration is readed before modules initialization. See work example here . You must configured the service listener in your Module.php
