Seems that I find appropriate solution:

  1. Need to prohibit auto connect in config file:

    'components' => array( 'edms' => array( 'class' => 'EDMSConnection', 'dbName' => 'homeweb', 'server' => 'mongodb://localhost:27017', 'options' => array('connect' => false) ) )

  2. all controllers should extend one custom controller (BaseController for example).

  3. Need to write own public function beforeAction method where I can add boostrap code.

    class BaseController extends CController
{
    public $layout = '//layouts/main';
    public $navigationMenu = array();
    public $breadcrumbs = array();

    public function beforeAction($action)
    {
        try {
            Yii::app()->edmsMongo()->connect();
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            die('Cannot connect to the database server. Please Try again later.');
        }
        $isGuest = Yii::app()->user->isGuest;
        $this->navigationMenu = $this->_getNavigationMenu($isGuest);
        return parent::beforeAction($action);
    }

  4. In the beforeAction method need to add return true or execute parent's method.

The bootstrap in yii is pretty much the index.php file under public_html or the yiic.php file (for command line applications).

You will probably have to separate the creating of the application instance and running it (by default it does both on 1 line), so you can do your try/catch between the calls.

Just try to fetch the app component, the mongo plugin will throw an exception if it can't open the connection:

try
{
    Yii::app()->mongoDb;
}
...

or Yii::app()->getComponent('mongoDb');
