The cenario
My application is divided by many agencies, each one with it's own database and database configuration file.
Before logging in, the user needs to send me an agency-id. In that request ZF2 load a non-agency db configutarion file (with SQLite database info) to validate if agency-id really exists.
The next requests are made to agency-specific-url so ZF2 load that agency's specific db configutarion file.
The problem
In the first request (to validate agency-id) after I validate it, I need to load the agency's specific database to fetch some info and return it.
I was thinking of loading that "unloaded agency database config file" in my controller, to instantiate a model with a DbAdapter containing the agency's database info for that, but I can't find a way to do it.
How can I do this or is there another way? Perhaps I should load every agency config file before ZF2's init but I don't know if that's the best solution.
To solve this I created an action that will return the agency's info. Inside the agency-id validate action, create a request for the above action and get it's response:
// Create request to get agency's info
$client = new Client();
$request = new Request();
$request->setMethod(Request::METHOD_GET);
$explicitUrl = 'http://example.com/any/action';
$request->setUri($explicitUrl);
$response = $client->send($request);
// The any/action route points to an action that return JSON data
$json = JsonDecoder::decode($response->getBody());
// Now I can do whatenever I want
$json->variable1...
$json->variable2...
$json->variable3...
