[Zope-dev] KeyError in ZRDB.DA cache handling
On our fairly busy site (http://cnx.org) we're seeing in the logs some
instances of an error in Shared.DC.ZRDB.DA::
...
Module None, line 97, in search_form_handler

- ExtZSQLMethod at /plone/portal_moduledb/20071212233625.240206723892
Module Shared.DC.ZRDB.DA, line 393, in _cached_result
KeyError: (\nSELECT p.*\nFROM persons p\nwhere\n p.firstname ~*
req('href='::text)\n or\n p.surname ~* req('href='::text)\n or\n

('^'||req('href='::text)||'$')\n or\n p.email ~*
(req('href='::text)||'.*@')\n\n, 0, 'devrep')
This is trying to remove a key from the ZSQL cache to shrink it down to
size, but doesn't find the key. From Shared.DC.ZRDB.DA._cached_result:
# if the cache is too big, we purge entries from it
if len(cache) = max_cache:
keys=tcache.keys()
# We also hoover out any stale entries, as we're
# already doing cache minimisation.
# 'keys' is ordered, so we purge the oldest results
# until the cache is small enough and there are no
# stale entries in it
while keys and (len(keys) = max_cache or keys[0] t):
key=keys[0]
q=tcache[key]
del tcache[key]
del cache[q] # = line 393, with the error
del keys[0]
It looks a lot like:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope2/+bug/143805
but we have that fix in our Zope 2.9.8:
http://osdir.com/ml/web.zope.all-cvs/2006-11/msg00150.html
Perhaps it is another high-load leak? I don't think it can be multiple
threads doing cleanup at the same time, unless maybe there's a
transaction commit in there somewhere I don't know about.
Or maybe I'm running into the problem described in the big comment at
the end?::
# When a ZSQL method is handled by one ZPublisher thread twice in
# less time than it takes for time.time() to return a different
# value, the SQL generated is different, then this code will leak
# an entry in 'cache' for each time the ZSQL method generates
# different SQL until time.time() returns a different value.
#
# On Linux, you would need an extremely fast machine under extremely
# high load, making this extremely unlikely. On Windows, this is a
# little more likely, but still unlikely to be a problem.
#
# If it does become a problem, the values of the tcache mapping
# need to be turned into sets of cache keys rather than a single
# cache key.
Would it be unsafe to toss a try/except around the del cache[q] bit on
the theory that it's already deleted, so, hey, why fail? It'd be really
nice to keep this off of users, even with it if does cause a bit of a leak.
I'll probably be setting up some logging to try and characterize this
further, but anybody have any clues?

Check your versions against the supported ones, specifically Zope. It looks to me like the Photo class stores a PhotoImage in its '_original' attributes, and the PhotoImage is supposed to inherit the '_get_filename' method from the base Zope Image object. It may be that this changed between versions, though I don't see it in any of my versions of Zope. And I have a lot. You may have to contact the author/maintainer to see how this is supposed to work.

No. Permission for a constructor is set when you register it, usually in
the __init__.py. (context.registerClass)

You have to declare a permission first such as: Add Garito Product
when you
create your product, and register the class.
Then in the ZMI you simply add the roles you want access to that
permission.

Subject: [Zope] Problem w/ ZMySQLDA
Hi;
? I just built out a new server and transfered my databases. I use
Zope to
server my web sites and ZMySQLDA to interface between the two.
Everything
seems
to be fine. I can see the databases, the tables, the columns in the
tables, the
permissions are correct, etc. I hook up ZMySQLDA and that seems to be
fine. It
connects to the database. However, when I go to look at the pages
from
served
the database, the browser hangs. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
You should have a MySQL_database_connection object in a folder
somewhere (in
the ZMI).? The Status for this object should say The database
connection
is open.? There is a Test tab for this object in which you can
enter an
sql query. If this query works ok, then the next step is to test
your Z SQL
Method(s).
Thanks. That clarified a lot. The MySQL query comes back fine. I'm
troubleshooting a complex shop I had a programmer who worked for me
build...so it's not my code...and it's complex ;) I went into the
shopkeeper's side and was able to successfully query the database. I
was, for example, able to display the cotton products for editing.
However, when I do essentially_the_same_thing TTW with the following
code snippet, it hangs!
tal:block metal:define-macro=content
?? define=dummy python:request.set('category', 5)
? tal:block
metal:use-macro=here/Store/Main_frame_content/macros/content /
/tal:block
Furthermore, mytop shows the user is hanging:
30 mysqluser?? localhost mrtableclo?? 473? Sleep
What should I do next to troubleshoot this?
I would test the code outside of tal. Just execute (test) the routine by
itself to see what it is returning. A couple of things to check: (i) is
the routine receiving the correct input parameters, (ii) is the routine
returning what you are expecting.

It's likely that you're passing an object to a method that wants a
string (probably an id). Without a traceback, it's impossible to say more.
Are you sure that the things you're passing in as ids are really ids and
not the objects themselves?

The site will have several counter parts around the globe being administered by various individuals, not all of whom are enlightened enough to realize the folly of using anything other than zope.

Each site will potentially have different database technology from the other sites. I know of 3 admins who are planning on using PHP-* + MySQL and a few others who want to use Postgress and some other front end. We want to be able to integrate the information from any one site into any other site with respect to the club objects in the disparate databases. I'd like to leverage the simplicity of zope's application/database model and not use SQL storage if possible but don't know how I can be able to share with my counterparts who are bent on using relational databases. We do not intend to leave open connections to each other's database servers. The consensus is to do scheduled dumps and push the files to the other admins who would have their own routines for integrating the data into their site. I really don't want to have to set up an SQL server.

Re: [Zope] RE: Java vs Zope
Sam Stainsby wrote: One thing is static type checking: developers detecting type errors at compile time, rather than some hapless user running into it at run time (i.e. after release to the public). I see many of those types of errors in Zope and Plone products, particularly as the API of one product changes and another product tries to use it. With Java, such problems are likely to be detected at compile time. Runtime errors produce a negative public perception of software products, as well as being dangerous in critical systems. Pervasive use of unit testing will help avoid such problems, but that level of discipline is hard to find in Zope/Plone projects (but well done those who do it!). On the downside, static type checking makes Java less flexible, and requires more programming effort, and of course there is that tedious compilation step. I worked in Java for web apps (as well as a few halting tries at GUIs--ick!) before Zope. I expected type problems because of the lack of static checking; however, I have not found it to be a problem. I don't think programs are quite as wild and wooly as static typed languages assume. I think it's quite acceptable to put the burden of use on the programmer instead of the compiler, considering the benefits; that's what he's thinking about anyway, no? My main problem with Java is that it's a high-friction environment. It takes a lot of work to do most things, often because interfaces have been abstracted so far (or sometimes because of compiler hoops, but not that often.) This is both in code and framework. For code, go take a look at what it takes to make an XML-RPC call in Python and in Java. I had to look this up for writing my book, and it's quite disgusting. It all depends on the functionality, of course, but I can't think of anything that writes quicker in Java than in Python. Framework-wise, I found that it took at least three separate helper programs to set up an reasonably productive, understandable, and maintainable development environment for J2EE, and that's not even counting an IDE. Zope 2 development generally has a lot less friction, and is usually a lot higher-level. As a result, I think it's several times faster than Java development. Possibly even many times faster. It does seem to make up for this by being more mysterious, but you can learn those things in time. You can't get rid of all the Java crap. (It's like the Churchill joke.) Zope 3, though I admit I've only played with it glancingly, seems to be more J2EE-like in certain respects: there seem to be a lot of things I have to touch to get things going.

It complains about 'wordlist' because it is not defined anywhere.
Perhaps you mean 'words' in the second line?
To pass a param to the ZSQL method, just say::

If you need this functionaltiy consider writing a Zope Product, using external methods or using TrustedExecutables. If python scripts are restricted from accessing zExceptions (for security reasons???) then why allow python scripts to trap zExceptions in bare try/excepts? If the logic for not allowing zExceptions in plain vanilla python scripts is for security reasons, then allowing bare try/excepts would seem to be a security hole (though, I don't see the rationale for this). I would imagine that not allowing these exceptions to be imported in trusted code is simply an oversight. The mechanism involved is not a you may not import this type of thing, but rather a you may import this statement. It is easy to miss safe but rarely used pieces. If you have a list of exceptions you would like to have available, go and file a bug report.

The ZTUtils batching is mostly for batching between pages. It's probably

So really, all I want is that Zope checks the passwords with the LDAP server instead of with it's own userfolder. And perhaps, a possibility to check/search for the available loginnames on the LDAP server when adding a user to the userfolder. I've checked out LDAPUserFolder but that's not what I'm looking for (I think...). Does anyone know whether there is such a product, or give me some poiners to adapt an exisiting product to my needs? There is an LDAPMultiplugin for PluggableAuthService, which might make this easier. It could be as easy as installing LDAPUF in PAS and turning off all its interfaces except for the auth one. However, I don't quite see how you would store users in Zope and then ask for the password in LDAP on a one-to-one basis.

You might want to use index_html rather than index.html in this
example. The dot means other things in Python, and index.html is a
carryover from filesystem webservers. My impression is that the

Not trying to nit-pick, just got hung-up on that item myself once before.
...or maybe that's not true anymore and has been allowed for...
That just means you can't traverse to it with attribute notation. For
instance::
self.plone.index.html
will not look for 'index.html' but rather the 'html' inside 'index'.
Same goes for dashes::
self.plone.try-me
will try to subtract the value of the 'me' variable from the value of
'self.plone.try'. But usually it will fail in trying to look up the
first value.
In such cases, you can use subscript notation::
self.plone['try-me']
or getattr (which doesn't use acquisition.)

Yes, I believe this is intentional. Windows 98 is a seven year old OS with insufficient infrastructure to reliably run server tasks anyway. At least get Windows 2000, which has a decent kernel. However that does not mean that Zope won't run on Windows 98. For a recent project where we ship and install Zope on all customers desktop machines I had to do a lot of testing especially on Windows 98. I've been using zope 2.7.4 on win 98 for some development/testing, not as a real server. But I'm confused by your statement: if zope 2.8.4 is calling an NT security function, not available in win98, then it does NOT run on win98?? DO you mean there is something wrong with my win98 setup or that zope 2.8.4 could be patched to overcome this issue? Probably this is just in the start sequence. You cannot, of course, run Zope as a service in Win98, since it understands no such thing. Quite possibly you can use runzope or whatever to execute it in a console. I can't say exactly as the traceback has been edited out of this thread (and I've deleted the old messages).

In such a case, running X processes (where C is the number of cores) will fully load the machine, since Python threads won't skip processors.

I see what you mean. $ZOPE is defined in $INSTANCE/etc/zope.conf. In my case, it's set to /usr/local/www/Zope, and there's a Products directory inside it. FreeBSD installs new products to that directory. I hadn't noticed that there was also a /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/Products directory with different contents. Problem solved, although I'm not sure why /usr/local/www/Zope/Products exists in the first place; maybe it was meant to be a symlink to ./lib/python/Products? Anyway, I think I can figure it out from here. Thanks! In the beginning, there was only one Products directory; this was in lib/python/ along with the rest of the software defining Zope. If you wanted to have, say, two or more running distinct instances of Zope you would have to copy the whole thing. Plus, with third-party products co-mingling with default products, upgrading became difficult. Thus was created the instance/software distinction. Everything needed to run Zope goes into the SOFTWARE_HOME; everything that defines a specific distinct instance goes into INSTANCE_HOME (3rd party Products, Data.fs, config files, logs, etc). You can thus manage (move, upgrade, etc) instances and software separately, and don't have to copy the whole thing to run many instances. (On my dev box, I may have 4-5 running at one time, and maybe 20 total!) This should explain why there are two such directories, and how they should be used. Short version: do not touch the SOFTWARE_HOME after it has been installed. In fact, it might be a good idea to remove all write permissions from that directory. You can co-mingle, of course, but be aware of what advantages you are losing. --jcc -- Building Websites with Plone http://plonebook.packtpub.com ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

We are experiencing huge slowdowns and lots of complaints of performance. Let me outline our system: I have a load balancer that round robins incoming request to 3 zeo servers I have 1 zope server on the back en that severs the data, this is a large single processor machine with 4 gigs of ram Each zeo server is 2 gigs of ram, single processor 3.2 gighz The throughput doesn’t appear to be the problem as ram/processors are. Short term I plan to change all zeo’s to 4 gigs ram and add 3 additional servers. The Technologies we are using are Zope, Zeo, plone and so forth. Why are we having these large issues? I see sites with hundreds of thousands of users and they don’t seem to have these issues? We plan to recode our site to get away from the Data.fs as soon as we can but that is a ways off yet. What am I doing wrong can anyone help? You will need to find out where the slow bits are. There are various profiling tools for use in Zope. PTProfiler, CallProfiler, etc. Also examine your ZODB cache graphs and settings. These can tell you where your bottlenecks are. There are lots of ways to improve performance just administratively. You can improve various zope.conf settings, and set up caching (either RAM or HTTP Accel.) in Plone. You can also put a caching proxy server (like Squid) in front of your Zopes. Also, Plone 2.1 is significantly faster. --jcc -- Building Websites with Plone http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] SQL Problem
Philip Beardmore wrote: I'm having a really annoying SQL problem which I think (or hope) can easily be sorted but I'm not sure how to do it. I have a ZPT which is collecting data in a form - Both text boxes and checkboxes. The form then passes the variables on to a DTML Method which does a few bits of error checking then calls an Z SQL Method to insert the data. If all of the data is completed (i.e. each textbox and checkbox is ticked) then the form inserts the data exactly as it should. If not all checkboxes are ticked the page returns an error - This is due to the SQL Method trying to insert data which hasnt been passed to it. You can provide default values to the parameters of your Z SQL Method. Alternately, I believe the DTML sqlvar tags can also be given a default behavior. --jcc -- Building Websites with Plone http://plonebook.packtpub.com ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] max 2 levels of indirection?
Sean Dunn wrote: I’m running Zope 2.0.7, and I’m having a problem.. Consider me a newbie, as I’ve only been using Zope for a few weeks. After boiling the problem down to a test case, it seemed that I couldn’t have a DTML method call a DTML method which then calls a Python script. But then I realized it was a more general problem of max number levels of indirection.. So I can’t have a DTML-DTML-DTML or DTML-DTML-PythonScript. Is this a bug? When I try this, I get a Name Error, which says that the name of the 3^rd level object is not defined. Here’s an example: DTML Method TestA: dtml-var expr=”TestB()” DTML Method TestB: dtml-var expr=”TestC()” DTML Method TestC: Test C has run. If I view TestA, I get the NameError that TestC doesn’t exist. If I view TestB, I get the output “Test C has run”. All objects are in the same folder. Is there some namespace weirdness that I don’t understand? When you call DTML methods directly, they expect to be passed certain parameters, including the namespace. When you simply use the names, this is done implicitly. When calling explicitly, you can lose the namespace if you don't follow the proper convention. I think you'll find that it works if you try:: DTML Method TestA: dtml-var TestB DTML Method TestB: dtml-var TestC DTML Method TestC: Test C has run. For calling DTML explicitly, it usually looks like:: dtml-var expr=”TestC(None, _)” See http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/AppendixE.stx for why. Also: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-db/2003-March/001554.html This is one of the good reasons to avoid DTML, by the way. --jcc -- Building Websites with Plone http://plonebook.packtpub.com ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

[Zope-PAS] auth fallback with cookies
Say I have a user in a root acl_users folder (call it 'admin'). I also have a PAS user folder in a sub-object of the root. This PAS is configured to do cookie auth, and users will typically login using a form. Now, if I try to log in as 'admin' in that form, it doesn't work. I think this is why: - credentials are supplied via a form to the PAS cookie auth plugin - there is no such user, so it fails - 'validate' returns None, so Zope goes to the next user folder (which the basic in the root where 'admin' lives) - that one tries to validate but gets nothing: it looks for HTTP basic credentials, but finds nothing, since login is form based Does this sound about right?

So in the end this is how I achieved what I needed:
portal.portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember().getId() not in \

The 'getGroupUsers' is not a good idea in a CMF environment. You should

One of them even does exactly what you want::

How do you mean unable? That's not a very good problem description.
RESPONSE.redirect is simply a Python method, and it will take any string

You must, of course, pass the value of a variable, and not the variable
itself. None of the following pose any problem::
REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(http://plone.org;)
url = http://plone.org;
REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(url)
def redir():
return http://plone.org;
REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(redir())
urls = {}
urls['plone'] = http://plone.org;
REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(urls['plone'])
REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(urls.get('plone', /))
In fact, they should all work identically.

Re: [Zope] TAL and Javascript

I'm stuck this, and would appreciate help or pointers.
I have a form with 2 selection drop-downs. I want the user's choice of
select 1 to drive the options displayed in select 2. When the user
makes a selection in select 1, onChange calls a Javascript function
that should write select 2 options based on the result of a call to a
Python script, passing the select 1 choice as an argument to the Python
script.
But: I cannot get the Javascript var into the namespace that the TALES
expression knows about.
Example:
script
function makeDropDown() {
var widget = document.getElementById('select1');
var choice = widget.options[widget.selectedIndex].value;
var data = [result of calling Python script 'foo(arg)' with
arg=choice]
This is impossible, at least in a single request. You are trying to mix
server-side and client-side actions.
You would have to make a new request on the server with the contents of
'choice' in order to get it processed. This can be done with XML-RPC or
some other options; look up 'AJAX' to get a feel for this.
Alternately, if you have a known list of values for 'choice' you could
generate all the 'data' values for each 'choice' value, encode them in
the page's javascript, and look them up client-side.

Re: [Zope] TAL and Javascript
Rob Boyd wrote:
Thanks to all the responders. It gave me some ideas, but alas no luck.
To clarify, I am not trying to do everything in one request. Request
one generates the page, a user event (selecting an option from a form)
fires another request via javascript.
I do not see it creating another request. I see a DOM event. DOM events
do not touch the server.
like:
script tal:content=python:'function getFormats() {
var widget = document.getElementById('orgs');
var chosen_org = widget.options[widget.selectedIndex].value;
var formats = %s;
// build selection 2 options from formats
' % here.getDataFormats(chosen_org) /
And then a user event (onChange) calls getFormats.
Even with generating the script with a Python script or DTML, the
problem remains (for me at least) to get a value from the DOM passed as
an argument to a Python script that queries my database.
Again, as I understand you, this is impossible.
Zope has no access to the DOM. Only to request parameters. This simply
cannot work. ZPT can only insert values during page rendering, and the
value for 'chosen_org' is decided after the page is rendered and in a
browser. Unless you can invent a special time-traveling Javascript, this
cannot work.
What would work is::
script tal:content=python:'function getFormats() {
var widget = document.getElementById('orgs');
var chosen_org = widget.options[widget.selectedIndex].value;
var formats = xmlrpcserver.getDataFormats(chosen_org);' /
This would actually create another request to Zope, running a script
with you're dynamically generated value. Note: I don't know how xml-rpc
is done in JavaScript, so I just made something up. Presumably
'xmlrpcserver' is a handle on your Zope server. Also note that every
time someone fires off this method, it's a request to the server.
(Also note: it doesn't have to be XML-RPC, just some way of asking the
server. There are various methods used for this.)
You might also make the widget that you chose from be part of a form,
and when a value is chosen, the form is submitted. This will get the
'chosen_org' in a request, and your template can then render your second
select list with the values from::
'here.getDataFormats(request.chosen_org)'
This is the common 'old-school' way of doing this.

Re: [Zope] Tweaking Zope DB- and connection parameters
Apache is set to MaxClients 50 Zope.conf has set zserver-threads 5 and zodb_db main cache-size 500 pool-size 25 ... /zodb_db I will note that a cache-size of 500 is ridiculously low. (Even though old versions of Zope shipped configured like this!) It needs to be at least 5000. Frankly, 5 wouldn't be bad for a large, busy site. To optimize your cache-size param, watch the ZODB read/write graph, and keep increasing the cache-size until (a) there's no more effect on reads or (b) you run into memory trouble. Of course, the optimization will slip a little as site usage patterns change. --jcc -- Building Websites with Plone http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

There is nothing special about either. They are simply how you do things that are not anticipated by the framework (and screen-scraping isn't that common). Many people seem to have placed artificial walls around the use of External Methods, but there's no good reason for this; they take about 10 seconds more to set up than TTW Python scripts.

Doing a search for 'python read zope object' is just too generic to find any python code to do this. You can get the main contents of a File with the 'data' attribute. It returns a string. You can ask a string 'splitlines' among other methods: http://python.org/doc/lib/string-methods.html You may also be interested in 'split'. --jcc -- Building Websites with Plone http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
