zend framework can't find Model classes?

Question

Yall:

I have a simple question, it might be a simple configuration issue, but I have a Model defined, and when I try to access it from a controller it fails.

The Model is in the model directory, and when I look at the quickstart app, it seems like this should work.

Here is my model:

<?php
class Application_Model_User  { 
    protected $_user;
    protected $_password;
    protected $_userId; // very simple right
}
?> 

My controller just stops.. here is the controller code:

<?php
class UserController extends Zend_Controller_Action {

    public function init() {     
    }

    public function indexAction() {
        // display login form
        $users = new Application_Model_User();
        echo "test never echos.. stopped above ? weird huh.."; // fails before ..
    }
?>

Thank you everyone,

In application.ini

appnamespace = "Application_"

App structure:

/application/
            /models/
                   /User.php

Class definition:

class Application_Model_User {}

Should work OK.
