You're doing a couple of things wrong and you're misunderstanding some things...
First of all, forward()
is a ControllerPlugin. You'll gain access to this method by accessing said manager via the ServiceLocator. An example could be this:
$cpm = $serviceLocator->get('controllerpluginmanager');
$fwd = $cpm->get('forward');
return $fwd->dispatch('foo/bar');
Now, to get the ServiceLocator into any of your Service-Classes you need Dependency Injection. One of the ways is to implement the ServiceLocatorAwareInterface
. The ServiceManager of ZF2 has so called Listeners. These Listeners check for implemented interfaces and stuff like this. Whenever it finds a match, it injects the required dependencies via the interfaces given functions. The workflow looks like this:
ServiceManager get('FooBar');
$ret = new FooBar();
foreach (Listener)
if $ret instanceof Listener
doInjectDependenciesInto($ret)
end
end
return $ret
Now what does this tell you. This tells you, that within the __construct()
of any of your classes NONE of your required dependencies are actually there. They only get injected AFTER the class/service has been instantiated.
On a last side-note, the given code example doesn't really make much sense ;) No matter what ServiceAction i'd like to access, you'd always return me to the "newAlbum" action...
