cakephp-3.0

In cakephp 2 when I need a vendor or related class to be loaded globally, i was adding require or app use inside bootstrap.php ot core php. In cakephp 3 where should I require vendor files ? I dont want to declare vendor require in every class and template file that I use my vendor files. http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/core-libraries/app.html#loading-vendor-files Vendor files are 3rdparty files. You custom static utility classes are not vendor files but rather your app files. You can put them under src/Lib/ . Just ensure to use proper namespace for the classes and add proper use statement

Multiple questions about validation which may belong together, because they are all kind of adressing the new validation concept in CakePHP 3. I have read the chapters ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) in the cookbook multiple times but honestly I don't understand how to do it the right way.
