Re: [AOLSERVER] init.tcl created commands aren't in ADP interpreters

[patrick o'leary]

By init.tcl I'm guessing you mean the configuration file passed to aolserver at start up? /bin/nsd -t init.tcl ? If so, then this is more of a feature than a bug, the TCL interpreter used to load the configuration file is deallocated after the configuration is loaded. The only things available to adp pages or tcl procs after configuration is anything placed in ns_section, using ns_param, as it'll get stored in a global TCL hash. In order to make Berkeley available to TCL and ADP pages, it needs to be done in one of two places o Either in sourcing of public and private server libraries i.e a tcl file with package require Db_tcl in either aolserver/modules/tcl/   the public library or in aolserver/servers/(servername)/modules/tcl  the private tcl library Code in either of these directories will be available to TCL and ADP during web server run time. o Or the second place is slightly more obscure, but I'm assured just as effective, aolserver/bin/init.tcl Changing proc ns_init     238 proc ns_init {} {     239     ns_ictl update; # check for proc/namespace update     240 } to load Berkeley will allow it to occur for all threads created or reused, this method might be a little overkill for most, but it's an option.

Specifically, if I do something like this in init.tcl: > berkdb open -create -btree a.db a new command "db0" is now in the tcl interpreter, and [info  commands] shows it (but not [info procs]) However, [info commands] when run on and ADP page shows that the ADP  pages don't contain this "db0" command: they don't inherit commands  that were created in init.tcl, just procs. It seems that only procs from init.tcl are inherited. Is this a bug? Or is there some way to register commands created in init.tcl so that  they're present in ADP interpreters? -john ps: I know about the aolserver/berkeley-db library, but want to use  the native tcl library provided by BerkeleyDB instead. -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
