adding a Route to the a Router in Zend Framework

I am using the mod-rewrite router.

I am trying to add a Route to the router that will convert the following url:
baseurl/category/aaa/mycontroller/myaction/param/value

to be:
Controller=mycontroller
action=myaction

--parameters--

category=aaa
param=value

I am using the following (not working) in my bootstrap, _front is the frontController

$Router=$this->_front->getRouter();
$CategoryRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('category/:category/:controller/:action/*');
$Router->addRoute('category', $CategoryRoute);

The error I get is a thrown router exception when I am using the Zend_View::url() helper (with or without giving it the name of the new route).
The exception is thrown only when I have baseurl/category/....

What am I missing?

What I missed:
Since there was [category] in the url, The router that was used is the one defined above.
When I used the url() helper, I didn't give any value in it to the [category] hence there was no value for this key in the url parts->failure. Giving a default, makes it work.

You have to specify the defaults when creating the route (see dcaunt's post) OR specify all of the parameters in url view helper (category, controler and action)

You should include the /* as suggested by solomongaby.

If not supplying all of the required parameters (i.e. category, controller and action), you will need to specify defaults.

You can do so as follows:

$Router=$this->_front->getRouter();

$CategoryRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('category/:category/:controller/:action/*',
    array(
        'controller' => 'index',
        'action'     => 'index',
        'category'   => null
    )
);
$Router->addRoute('category', $CategoryRoute);

$Router=$this->_front->getRouter();
$CategoryRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('category/:category/:controller/:action/*');
$Router->addRoute('category', $CategoryRoute);

Try adding a start to specify the existence of extra params
