model

I have a Zend_Framework application, which has a whole bunch of model classes.

I need these model classes to be able to access the application's database (naturally).

Currently I've put this in my index.php:

Zend_Registry::set('db',
        $application->bootstrap()->getBootstrap()
        ->getPluginResource('db')->getDbAdapter());

And then $db = Zend_Registry::get('db'); in each of my model classes that require the database.

But this seems like a horrible horrible hack. Am I missing something basic here?
