Zend Server Framework

Introduction

The main goal of this framework is to provide a simple way to manage Zend Server instances through PHP applications.

Create a Server Instance

At first you should have install a Zend Server somewhere in a place available through http connections. Lets say that the Zend Server you want to instanciate in your PHP application is setted on http://www.myzendserver.dev:10081. To create your PHP Zend Server instance you just have to :

$zendServer = new ZendPattern\Zsf\Server\ZendServer();

Configure Zend Server instance

Use configuration array

To set most of Zend Server parameters use a configuration array

$configugration =  array(
	'version' => '7.0.0',
	'edition' => 'ENTERPRISE',
	'uriPath' => 'http://www.myzendserver.dev:10081/',
	'apiPath' => 'ZendServer/Api',
	'apiKeys' => array(
		'admin' => '123896589...',
		'anykey' => '14596875...',
	),
);

And use a configurator to set your Zend Server up :

$configurator = new ZendPattern\Zsf\Server\Configurator();
$configurator->configure($server,$configuration);

use auto-discovering

Zend Server is capabale of autodiscovering itself. All what you need to know is server URL and an API key :

$zendserver = new ZendPattern\Zsf\Server\ZendServer();
$zendserver->addFeature(new ZendPattern\Zsf\Feature\ZendServer6\AutoDiscover());
$zendserver->setUriPath('http://www.myzendserver.dev:10081/');
$zendserver->autoDiscover('admin','1235974896...');

Now your Zend Server is completly setted up.

About Zend Server features

All Zend Server functionallities are implented has plugins called "features". When you create a new Zend Server it has no feature installed and cannot do anything. To start adding feature simply use :

$feature = new ZendPattern\Zsf\Feature\ZendServer6\AutoDiscover();
$zendserver->addFeature($feature);

Zend Server framework is provided with some build-in features :

apiCall ($serviceName, $serviceParams, $apiKeyName, $httpClient)

This feature is the one responsible of calling a web API service on Zend Server. By example we can call "getSystemInfo" service :

$apiCallFeature = new ZendPattern\Zsf\Api\ApiCall();
$zendserver->addFeature($apiCallFeature);
$systemInfo = $zendserver->apicall('getSystemInfo');
$xmlData = $systemInfo->getXmlContent();
echo (string)$xmlData->responseData->systemInfo->edition;

The code above will result in 7.0.0.

The feature parameters are :

• $serviceName : name of called service
• $serviceParams : array of service parameter corresponding to GET or POST parameters you need to run the API call.
• $apiKeyName : name of the API key to use.If none provides, will use 'admin' key.
• $httpClient : a custom HTTP client.

Another example with "deployApplication" service :

$zendServer->apiCall(
	'applicationDeploy',
	array(
		'appPackage' => 'phpMyAdmin-4.0.5.4.zpk',
		'baseUrl' => 'http://phpmyadmin.myzendserver.dev',
	)
);

AutoDiscoverApiKeys

AutoDiscover

Create you own features.

The best usage of feature is that you can add any feature you want on your Zend Server.
