Answer 1

Zend MVC will inject the ServiceLocator instance into a class implementing Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorAwareInterface. A simple implementation for a model table looks like the following:

serviceLocator = $serviceLocator;
  }

  public function getServiceLocator() {
    return $this->serviceLocator;
  }

  // now instance of Service Locator is ready to use
  public function someMethod() {
    $table = $this->serviceLocator->get('Album\Model\AlbumTable');
    //...
  }
}
