Tutorial: getManagerForClass ?

[dantleech]

In the tutorial we do:

        $dm = $this->get('doctrine_phpcr')->getManagerForClass('AcmeBasicCmsBundle:Post');
        $posts = $dm->getRepository('AcmeBasicCmsBundle:Post')->findAll();

But this is against the principle of the tutorial imo. The idea is that this is a direct way to get things done, this is just not applicable in the majority of use cases, and defintely not here.

$dm = $this->get('doctrine_phpcr')->getManager();

i think @lsmith77 said somewhere he would want to use getManagerForClass wherever possible to make things more flexible. does that have an impact on this?

[lsmith77]

I think for reuseable code it is better to use getManagerForClass() but if I get @dantleech right, he is just saying that it is beyond the scope of the tutorial to also address this.

[dantleech]

Yeah, I think its out of scope. It will just obsucure the typical use case getManager.

What would be a use case for having classes mapped to different managers?

i am okay to go with the simple case in this tutorial. think it makes
sense - each additional complexity in the tutorial is one more chance to
throw people out of their path of understanding :-)
