zend bootstrap: for each module

Question

Is it good or bad practice to create separate bootstrap for each module. They make the project look a lot less disorganized in my opinion so I'd like to know if it's the norm to have them in each module.

Answer 1

For ZF1, there currently is no official recommendation to my knowledge. Your best bet is

Answer 2

I don't think there's any "best practise", like much in ZF it's just another choice available to you.

Personally, I rarely use them. Module bootstraps are a nice idea, but since by default all module bootstraps run on every request I don't really see the point.

There are some examples of how to make module bootstraps only run when the current request is for that module, Matthew's article has some good links.
