[Zope-dev] AttributeProvider and type information

2000-10-11 Thread John Eikenberry
I just want to ask a couple quick questions... First, when using the AttributeProvider class you are pretty much required to subclass it to add methods for altering the values of the attributes. Basically I want to be sure I'm not missing something criticle as there don't seem to be any methods

[Zope-dev] Xron fragility

2000-10-11 Thread Steve Alexander
The Xron product seems rather "fragile" in use. That is, if things go wrong when an Xron DTML Method is triggered, that method doesn't get rescheduled. An example of this is that my intranet DNS server needed to be rebooted. Xron couldn't look up the appropriate domain name, and stopped

Steve, I am also interested in scheduling... though I haven't looked closely at Xron. The Xron product seems rather "fragile" in use. That is, if things go wrong when an Xron DTML Method is triggered, that method doesn't get rescheduled. Does Xron take an optimistic approach to repeating

I'll need to try to call get_transaction().commit() from a manually-constructed Python thread fired off from Zope and see what happens. I think it'll just work. I'll find out in a few minutes. :-) Yes, it just works. :-) ___ Zope-Dev maillist
