Instant Generator - Zend Framework conform class names

General Questions/Discussions
#1

Hello,

unfortunately Zend Framework has some class naming conventions which can’t be configured with the instant generator.

This is an example of a directory structure:

  • Package
    — Subpackage
    ------ MyClass.php

Contents of the MyClass.php:

<?php

class Package_Subpackage_MyClass {
   .....
}

?>

The UML diagram looks like this:
http://www.grosse-puppendahl.de/uml.jpg

Generating code from this diagram would create the following php code:

<?php

class MyClass {
   .....
}

?>

The directory structure is absolutely right, but the class must be named according to its package.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Thanks for your help,
Tobias
