[Zope-dev] Weird Data.fs corruption...
Hi everybody, I looked around the Zope site and mailing lists, but I wasn't able to find an answer to my problem. I'm using the CVS version of Zope2. I did an update yesterday. Since then, there's been some commits. I just started my web site project using Zope running with ZServer, when I began to have problems doing Cut-Paste operations. I thought at first that I messed the permissions or something because of my lack of experience with Zope. Little did I know at that moment that my Data.fs was corrupted very badly. So I tried to restart Zope, but it refused giving me this backtrace: [zope@petechie ~/Zope2]$ ./start Traceback (innermost last): File "/home/zope/Zope2/z2.py", line 554, in ? exec "import "+MODULE in {} File "", line 1, in ? File "/home/zope/Zope2/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py", line 110, in ? DB=ZODB.FileStorage.FileStorage(Globals.BobobaseName) File "/home/zope/Zope2/lib/python/ZODB/FileStorage.py", line 303, in __init__ self._pos, self._oid, tid = read_index( File "/home/zope/Zope2/lib/python/ZODB/FileStorage.py", line 1515, in read_index if read(4) != packed_version: raise FileStorageFormatError, name ZODB.FileStorage.FileStorageFormatError: /home/zope/Zope2/var/Data.fs I then logged to Zope web site to get information on how to get my Data.fs fixed. I read the http://www.zope.org/Members/itamar/CorruptedZODB document and downloaded the tranalyzer.py python program. I then understood what the backtrace already told me. The first 4 bytes of any ZODB files should be something like "FS21". Instead, I have garbage in my Data.fs: [zope@petechie var]$ python tranalyzer.py Data.fs | more Traceback (innermost last): error: Not a .fs file (at least, not a kind I know about) magic = 6TÆ Just for the record, Data.fs.in is read easily by tranalyzer.py. How can this happen? Any idea? My only "guess" is that it has to do with the Data.fs file being used by ZServer over an NFS partition on Linux. This is only a guess, but I really can't see any other thing I could have done wrong. This doesn't really bug me for the moment as I only had a couple of hours put in my site, but I would like to prevent it from happening again yes I do backups, but only once a day ;-) Thanks for your help/comments.

[Zope-dev] remote procedure calls to manage functions
Have been delving into ZPublisher.Client to make remote procedure calls under Zope 2.2.1. Many of the manage_... functions work just fine through this interface (once the obvious bug on line 212 of Client.py is fixed, anyway ;-). Check out the example utilities/load_site.py if you want to get started in this very productive use of Zope. However, manage_addZSQLMethod refuses to work, always returning a 404 not found error. Don't have time at the moment to find out why, but I wondered if there was a simple reason for it (nothing seems simple at 3am does it)? In the meantime, calling it via an external method to act as glue is working fine. ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
Re: [Zope-dev] RE: [Zope] ZPatterns Question
Hi guys, I'm trying to make a simple guestbook using ZClasses and ZPatterns, I suppose this is somewhat overkill, and would be alot easier to do using SQL, but it's for the sake of knowledge (as is everything I do). So I read the IRC-log and asked a question regarding storing a ZClass in a Specialist/Rack, and I suppose that is what I should do too. Also note that I have not done anything with ZClasses or ZPatterns and take this as an oppotunity to learn booth ;). So I have done the following: I created a product and put 2 ZClasses in it, Guestbook and Guestbook_entry. Guestbook_entry was created with Dataskin as baseclass and holds a propertysheet called entry_data. Guestbook has 2 methods that handles the adding of entries, one is the form, the other is the actual dataadder (the forms action) and it's called entry_addProcessor. I then added a specialist to Guestbook, and told it to store Guestbook_entrys, it's called entry_storage. entry_addProcessor contains the following code: Code is supposed to go here... I just have to figure out how to add the data sent to newobj... But when I try to run this I get "Unauthorized" for newItem, and I don't know what settings to set for anonymous to be able to use it, since I can't seem to get it to work even with my user that has created everything. Now, am I correct to put the properties in the ZClass, or should they go into a PersistentSheet or a PersitentSheetProvider plugin? And if I should put it into PersistenSheets should I change anything in the Sheet_Names and Sheet_Namespaces boxes or just att my properties? And what about the Unauthorized error, should I change something in the define permissions tab? Now, if I could get this little question answered in english (not ZPatternish), I would be very happy, and if you get me to grasp these things I think quite a few others will grasp it too, and you will get less requests for basic dokumentation, and everyone will be happy and live long and prosper forever after. /Peter Toneby, who really should go to bed now. -- Alpha Test Version: Too buggy to be released to the paying public.

I mean, if you go into the management screens for a ZClass, and add a property sheet to the *class*, the sheet's definition is stored in the class, and its contents are stored as attributes on the instances. Sheet providers have no effect on such property sheets, as they are defined in the class. However, if you use a "DataSkin Property Sheet", the attributes of the sheet are stored in the instance in a way that is compatible with attribute providers. Thus, you can use attribute providers to provide the content of the sheet. But you cannot provide the sheet object itself. This may seem a subtle distinction, but it is an important one for some applications. Sheet providers are primarily intended to add sheets outside the scope of the class of object being used. >If I use some DataSkin-derived ZClass instances inside a Customizer >folder, and if I want to store the data in the ZODB, do the >propertysheets for one of these ZClass instances come from >PersistentAttributeProviders or PersistentSheetProviders? If you create the sheets *in* the ZClass itself, then the *data* for the sheets comes from an AttributeProvider (actually, it's just stored in the instance, but the storage is controlled by an AttributeProvider). The sheet *itself* would come from the class. If you create the sheet with object.propertysheets.manage_addPropertySheet(), then the sheet will be created and managed by a SheetProvider. >What is the difference between a Common Instance Propertysheet and a >Dataskin Attribute Propertysheet when added to a Dataskin-derived >ZClass? The difference is that a Common Instance property sheet stores default values in the class under the original attribute name, which makes __getattr__ unusable on the instances. A DataSkin property sheet stores default values in the class under the name "class_default_for_X" where "X" is the attribute name. This lets the DataSkin instances give an AttributeProvider a chance to supply the value of an attribute before falling back to a class-level default. >Is the following true, part true, false, or irrelevant? > >If I want to add a propertysheet that contains information from an SQL >database query to a ZClass-dataskin instance, I have to : > >* Declare in my Product that the ZClass has that propertysheet (unless I >do clever stuff with triggers to add the sheet if it isn't there >already) > >* Use a custom SQL SheetProvider? Or an AttributeProvider? Or some >skinscript that calls various methods in my specialist? You can do any of the above. Currently, the easiest way to do it would probably be to add the sheet to the class, and then use attribute providers to supply the data. If you needed to add this atop a class which needed to be "final" (in the Java sense, i.e. no modifications allowed), then the best route would be a custom SQL sheet provider. ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

[snip] I haven't got the whole reason, but here are some of the pieces: - never expose a "bare" object, or even one with an incomplete context - allow the user to backtrack along the context chain These two together give you the part about aq_parent always being the previous acquisition result. - allow recovery of containment information - base security on containment These two motivate the simplification of raw acquisition. With the simplification, you get containment-first search and aq_inner.aq_parent gives you your fully-wrapped container. The current acquisition implementation is thus a weird hybrid of containment and context. It retains both sorts of information while providing the search semantics we want security to have. It isn't hard to convert a standard acquisition wrapper into either of the other sort. I'm going to propose adding something like the following functions: def aq_context(ob): context = [] while ob is not None: context.append(ob.aq_base) ob = ob.aq_parent ob = context.pop() while context: ob = context.pop().__of__(ob) return ob def aq_containment(ob): context = [] while ob is not None: context.append(ob.aq_base) ob = ob.aq_inner.aq_parent ob = context.pop() while context: ob = context.pop().__of__(ob) return ob ... so that you could write something like or &dtml-bar;.

[Zope-dev] Feedback requested on SkinnableAndLocalizableObjects
A few days ago, I requested for some feedback on the SkinnableAndLocalizableObjects project, and got exactly none! I cannot believe that I put down a flawless design here that nobody has anything to add to. A few days more, and the implementation I'll have will be much harder to fit your ideas. To summarise, when this project is done, all of Zope's management interface will support full language switching (like zzLocale, but built in), and on top of that, it will be very, very easy to create new and radically different versions of the interface and tie different versions (called Skins) to different browsers. http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/SkinnableAndLocalizableObjects -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ | ZopeStudio: http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeStudio - ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

I'm confused here. Please excuse me if these questions seem silly. What does "Property sheets created on ZClasses" mean, exactly? If I use some DataSkin-derived ZClass instances inside a Customizer folder, and if I want to store the data in the ZODB, do the propertysheets for one of these ZClass instances come from PersistentAttributeProviders or PersistentSheetProviders?

Actually, neither relates. Property sheets created on ZClasses always have their data stored in attributes of the object itself, so if you want to control those property sheets you would not use a sheet provider at all. Sheet providers are only used to provide property sheets whose data is stored external to the object. The "name" refers to sheet names, yes, although again these are not ones created on the ZClass, which will be handled by the ZClass. The "namespaces" refers to the XML namespaces of the property sheets, which is a WebDAV thing. In the WebDAV protocol, "property sets" are added/changed using URLs as XML namespaces. So you could have a property sheet whose XML namespace is "http://www.zope.org/PTK/MemberProperties" and whose name is just "MemberProperties" or "MemberInfo" or something else altogether. ZPatterns supports WebDAV, and WebDAV requires the ability to add arbitrary property sets with arbitrary properties to an object. Also, the XML namespaces concept can be useful as a way of avoiding name collisions between frameworks. >>From the IRC_Chatlog: >"Call "getItem(key)" to retrieve an item from the Specialist, and >"newItem(key)" to create a new item in the specialist." > >Does this imply that I can simply call "newItem(key)" from a dtml-method >inside the specialist to create a new instance of my object?

The Specialist asks its racks for an object. The Rack which "retrieves" the object tells the object that it belongs to the rack and should ask the rack for anything it needs. When the object needs a property sheet or attribute or whatever, it asks the rack to give it a list of relevant providers for that attribute/sheet/whatever. It then walks the list asking those providers if they can perform the function it desires. If none of the providers are successful, it performs a default behavior (such as raising an AttributeError to indicate the attribute does not exist). This general pattern is followed for almost anything that can be delegated from a skin to a provider. When DataSkins are used outside a rack, the process is similar, except that the DataSkin itself notices it is being retrieved from somewhere and has not been told it belongs to a rack, so it searches its acquisition path asking for a Customizer. Once found, it then uses the Customizer in the same way as it would have used the Rack (i.e. to ask for lists of providers that might be useful for performing tasks it needs done). ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

Simple: it's wildly unpredictable what people would be able to do. With a .zexp it's possible to instantiate any Python class including system classes. But it's not possible to include actual code. So there would probably be a way to access any readable file from the filesystem, shut down Zope, rewrite or remove all content from Data.fs, and maybe even get root by restarting in some strange way, but it would all have to be done in a *really* clever way. That's just the kind of challenge intruders crave. I don't want to have to deal with that, do you?
