Zend_Application_Resource_CacheManager Zend_Application_Resource_CacheManager may be utilised to configure a set of Zend_Cache option bundles for use when lazy loading caches using Zend_Cache_Manager As the Cache Manager is a lazy loading mechanism, the options are translated to option templates used to instantiate a cache object on request. Sample Cache Manager resource configuration Below is a sample INI file showing how Zend_Cache_Manager may be configured. The format is the CacheManager resource prefix (resources.cacheManager) followed be the name to assign to an option cache template/bundle (e.g. resources.cacheManager.database) and finally followed by a typical Zend_Cache option. Actually retrieving this cache from the Cache Manager is as simple as accessing an instance of the Manager and calling $cacheManager->getCache('database');.
