Custom Controller Directory Structure Symfony2

Question

I\'m transitioning a Kohana application to Symfony2. In Kohana I had to register a custom autoloader to make the framework see my controllers given my preferred directory struct

Answer 1

Its not possible using the _controller key of a YAML resource file. This is the Symfony2 code that is executed:

//classes.php, parse method

 $try = $b->getNamespace() . '\\Controller\\' . $controller . 'Controller'; 
 if (class_exists($try)) {
      return $try . '::' . $action . 'Action';
 }

As you can see "Controller" is concatenated after the Bundle namespace. Autoloading will use the namespace as a file path and the controller will never be found.

If your using _Controller your controllers must be under the "Controller" folder that is immediately inside your Bundle directory.
