With the Zend Framework, I am trying to build routes for a REST api on resources organized in the following pattern:

• http://example.org/users/
• http://example.org/users/234
• http://example.org/users/234/items
• http://example.org/users/234/items/34

How do I set up this with Zend_Rest_Route?

Here is how I have setup the route for the users resource (users/:id) in my bootstrap.php file:

  $this->bootstrap('frontController');
  $frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
  $restRoute = new Zend_Rest_Route($frontController);
  $frontController->getRouter()->addRoute('default', $restRoute);

[As far as I understand, this is a catch all route so users/324/items/34 would results in parameters set as id=324 and items=34 and everything would be mapped to the Users (front module) Model. From there I guess I could just test for the items parameter and retrieve the item #34 for user #324 on a get request.]<=== I just checked it and it doesn't seems to work like that:

Acessing /users/234/items/43 and

var_dump($this->_getAllParams());

in the get action of the rest controller results in the following output:

array(4) {
 ["controller"]=> string(5) "users"
 ["action"]=>  string(3) "get"
 [2]=>  string(5) "items"  ["module"]=>  string(7) "default"]
}

Somehow both ids got lost...

Anyone?
