Bootstrapping Zend Layout and include navigation resource

Question

I have a problem with rendering navigation menu when I use the following bootstrap:

public function _initViewHelpers()
{
    $this->bootstrap('layout');
    $layout = $this->getResource('layout');
    $view = $layout->getView(); // Never inits navigation resource?

    $view->headTitle()->setSeparator(' - ')
         ->headTitle('Test');

    $role = ($this->_auth->getStorage()->read() === null) ? 'guest' : $this->_auth->getStorage()->read()->role;
    $view->navigation()->setAcl($this->_acl)->setRole($role); 
}

In my layout.phtml I have:

echo $this->navigation()->menu();

And in my application.ini I have:

resources.navigation.pages.index.label = "Home"
resources.navigation.pages.index.title = "Go Home"
resources.navigation.pages.index.controller = "index"
resources.navigation.pages.index.action = "index"
resources.navigation.pages.index.order = -100
resources.navigation.pages.index.route = "default"

Issuing the $view = $layout->getView(); results in my navigation menu not being rendered. If I comment that part out, it renders fine.

How can I set the title, and acl role in the bootstrap, and still render my menu correctly?

Have you tried adding the view resource to your application.ini and retrieving your resources directly?

application.ini:

resources.view[] =

Bootstrap:

public function _initViewHelpers()
{
    $this->bootstrap('layout');
    $this->bootstrap('view');
    $this->bootstrap('navigation');
    $layout = $this->getResource('layout');
    $view = $this->getResource('view');
    ....
