[Solar-talk] Namespacing with concrete class functionality (was: Re: Proposal: Remove namespace to Solar::loadClass()/factory())

[Travis Swicegood]

Howdy all,

Attached is a patch that updates loadClass() to allow a $concrete 
parameter which would ignore namespacing all together.  With this patch, 
a Solar::loadClass('Solar_Sql', true) call works essentially as it did 
prior to the original patch.  This has several uses:

1. You want to override a class of the same name in a different vendor 
namespace (i.e., Domain51_Sql extends Solar_Sql).  It is required in 
this instance.

2. You have specific functionality that is only available in one 
particular class.

3. You know exactly what class you need to load and speed is of the 
essence, in which case you don't want to waste resources on the 
foreach() call.

I would interested to make sure this is working for everyone else's 
applications.  If you have the chance, please apply this patch, and 
modify your config to look like:

$config['Solar']['namespace'] = array('Solar', 'Vendor');

Modifying "Vendor" to your vendor namespace.  If running more than one 
Vendor namespace, you'll also need to make sure they are specified here 
as well.
