With Symfony2 much configuration can be added directly to actions with annotations. With Symfony1 there have been cache.yml, route.yml, security.yml and many more configuration files for a single controller. This has not changed with Symfony2.

However, there is a new way which offers more flexibility and adds the configuration right to the place where it is used: to the specific action as meta-info with some sort of annotations.
During my computer science studies at the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences I wrote my bachelor thesis about “Automatic Anti-Pattern Corrections for PHP”. As a fan of the open source philosophy, I want to share my work with others. I invite everyone to contribute to the great lex-pass project and this approach to better PHP software. Please share your thought and ideas on this with me and others by leaving a comment or sending me a message.

(Check php.net) Although there are some new cool features in it such as lambda functions, closures and PHAR support, there is this silly namespace thing. Namespaces are good in generally (remember, you had to prefix each class with your damn project-name to be on the save side) but separating the namespace parts with the *escape* character “” (YES THE BACKSLASH!
Weil ich mich nie an die Blogs der unterschiedlichen Leute im IRCnet Channel #php.de erinnern kann, habe ich angefangen eine Liste mit eben den Blogs dieser anzulegen. Es gibt für jeden #php.de User die Möglichkeit sich selbst einzutragen, ich muss dann den entsprechenden Link lediglich noch freischalten.
Für alle Interessierten: #php.de@IRCnet Blogs
