zend auto loader... custom classes. How do I get it to work?

Question

I am looking to create my own collection of class files in the library/common folder

/library/common/*class files go in here*

Inside the folder I will have various class files that I want to make available

such as

DecoratorSimple.php

example of the code can be seen below?

class Common_Decorator_SimpleInput extends Zend_Form_Decorator_Abstract
{
  // code goes in here
}

The question I have is how do I get the zend application to automatically load anything in common folder that has the the prefix of Common_

I have tried adding the following to the bootstrap but it did not work

protected function _initTestAutoLoader(){

    $autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
    $autoloader->registerNamespace('Common_');

    // try and load the class
    $testVar = new Common_Decorator_SimpleInput();
    var_dump($test);
}

What's the error that you get? Also, I think the problem is because you didn't register /Library/ in `include_path` — Rezigned, Oct 05 '12 at 15:58

Is your class name matching the library path...
eg Common_Decorator_SimpleInput
must be in /library/Common/Decorator/SimpleInput.php

this is what it was. For every "_" (seperator) i needed to add an extra folder. – Robbo_UK Oct 12 '12 at 13:43
