In a Zend Framework 2 Module.php the getFilterConfig() method is never called -

i have generic module in zend framework 2 application filters in it.

for entity created filter class inputfilterawareinterface:

public function getinputfilter() {     if (!$this->inputfilter) {         $inputfilter = new inputfilter();         $factory     = new inputfactory();         $inputfilter->add(             $factory->createinput(                 array(                     'name'     => 'desc',                     'required' => false,                     'filters'  => array(                         array('name' => 'myfilter'),                     ),                 )             )         );          $this->inputfilter = $inputfilter;     }     return $this->inputfilter; } 

to load myfilter implemented generic's module.php filterproviderinterface:

public function getfilterconfig() {     // breakpoint @ next line     return array(         'factories' => array(             'myfilter' => function($sl) {                 $myfilter = $sl->getservicelocator()->get('myfilterfactory');                 return new filter\filter\myfilter($myfilter);             },         ),     ); } 

when run application exception thrown:

zend\servicemanager\exception\servicenotfoundexception zend\filter\filterpluginmanager::get unable fetch or create instance myfilter 

i ran debugger , realized getfilterconfig() method never called, because breakpoint not triggered.

what need insert in code filter config loaded?

edit:

the code executed debugger not stop @ breakpoint. when insert additional statement , set breakpoint this, execution stops.

in controller following

$servicemanager = $this->getservicelocator(); $filtermanager = $servicemanager->get('filtermanager'); 

and within filter manager have myfilter in factories array. still exception.

how zend\inputfilter\factory (as inputfactory) know filter factory?

finally figured out went wrong , how solve this:

within zend\inputfilter\factory used inputfactory defaultfilterchain created scratch generates new filterpluginmanager not service manager's filters.

to solve insert factory entity filter service manager injects defaultfilterchain filters of service manager:

'entityfilter' => function($sm) {     $filtermanager = $sm->get('filtermanager');                 $filterchain = new filterchain;     $filterchain->setpluginmanager($filtermanager);     return new entityfilter($filterchain);  } 

within getinputfilter method of filter class entityfilter inserted inputfactory:

$factory = new inputfactory(); $factory->setdefaultfilterchain($this->defaultfilterchain); 

now inputfactory can use these filters of service manager's filter manager includes myfilter.
