Kaloyan: well that would work for sure, but that is actually not the point of this article :-) This issue will (hopefuly) be solved with php 5.3 and late static binding, which will allow for such a behavior via the static keyword. (see JMF's comment)

Can't we just change the getInstance() method with a factory() method instead ? We will place this factory() in the parent abstract class, so all "routes" should be generated from it. This factory method will keep one instance per class, so when asked twice or more times for an instance of a class previously loaded, it will return the one it has stored.

To do this, we got to have a common abstract class that all routes will extend. In this abstract class we will place this factory() method like this:

Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Abstract::factory('Xend_Controller_Router_Route_Modified');

What do you think ?

This will be possible in PHP 5.3 with the Late Static Binding (cf. http://ds-o.com/archives/53-Late-St...)

Rather than doing that, perhaps you should just define the route to use in the bootstrap with setRoute. That has worked pretty well for me.

Something along the lines of...
Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRouter()->setRoute('default', new Route_Win());
