Doctrine2 best way to Populate Entities From Zend Form

What's the bets way to populate an Entity in Doctrine from data that I receive from a user form which is a Zend Form.

Class User {
     private $id, $name, $password;
}

And a form with cor开发者_StackOverflow中文版responding:

<input name="name"> <input name="password">

Is there a nice way to assign data from the form (Zend Form) to the User Entity without hard coding every mutator method?

Yes, you can use Reflection API to set property values in an entity. If you have an array, with keys identical to the entity's property names, it wouldn't be too hard to just iterate over them. Make sure you sanitize your input array first though.

For a complex example, take a look at \Doctrine\ORM\UnitOfWork::createEntity()
