Yes, I checked the code (ZClasses/Method.py, PUT_factory)
and that's the reason. The Zope ftp server checks the extension
when a file is created with "put", but not when it is renamed
to a file with the .jpg (or other) extension.

A method manage_FTPrename should be added to this
file which does the same checks.

Fixing this bug and the problem with identical named files in
different directories in the object filesystem tree (described
in my original posting) should not be very hard
to fix for someone with knowledge of the object file system.

I don't have that knowledge so I'll leave it to others to
fix. I suggest posting both problems in the bug collector...

You will get the result you want.

For the other stuff, look in DocumentTemplate/pDocumentTemplate.py. The 
python code is pretty clear, although the C version is what is normally 
used in Zope.

Otherwise, see DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py and DT_With.py, or see how it 
is done in ZPatterns in Expressions.py.

[Zope-dev] How to avoid ConflictErrors ?

2001-01-28 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi zopers,

I'm having problems with a product I'm developing.  The product is part of the
ZopeGUM package, the GUM product.  If you have a look in gum.py in that
product, you can see a method named _retrieve_messages, which can at
times store enourmous amounts of objects and data in one transaction.

Now, if I access the GUM instance at the same time as this method is being
called, I may either get a ConflictError raised in the page, or in the
Zope debug output. 

I've read all the posts I could find regarding ConflictErrors, and they
mention that careful programming could help in avoiding these exceptions.
I'm assuming that this applies only to whenever two threads are trying
to *modify* the same object; and frankly, I can't see where I'm modifying
any objects, unless modifying one object, an rfc822_message instance in
a message_container instance also somehow modifies the message_container.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks & cheers,

Morten

Now I can... convoluted but with a simple answer ;-)

The reason for this, was because the object was being acquired. The naming
similarity was pure chance. I had an index called TestCase in the catalog,
the same name as the DTML method for the form. I _didn't_ have a column
called TestCase in the ZCatalog MetaData, so when the result-displaying DTML
method tried to dtml-var it, it was acquired, and hence the method was
plopped on top of the namespace.

The actual problem is that ZCatalog was using the indexes instead of the
metadata when telling Z Search was results form to build. The following
patch solves that, I'm sure I put it in the collector when I moved Squishdot
to use ZCatalog too :-S

I puzzled through a related problem a little, but for (I think) a
different reason.  I have an External Method that takes a significant
amount of time to run, and returns a collection of data. I didn't want
to have to push the names of all the subvariables returned onto the
stack; that pollutes the name space.  What I wanted to do was the
following:


Variable 1:  
Variable 2:  


(But, as in your case, I could also have done:

 
Variable 1:  
Variable 2:  
  )


To me, this first example seemed like a pretty common and obvious
thing to to.  I didn't need "x" to be persistent, I didn't need or
want acqusition, I just wanted to keep my variables containerized in a
structure.  For this purpose, FunctionTemplate, InstanceDict, and
TemplateDict all seemed either inappropriate, too complex, or too
heavyweight.

So, I wrote the simple container class at the end of this message that
contains a grab-bag of methods that can be used for my application as
well as with a variety of others that use  and .
It essentially provides all that "_.namespace()" does, plus some extra
introspection.  It's concocted from various pieces of Zope and the
HowTos.

Now, philosophical Zope questions:

* To those in the know, is there any problems returning non-persistent
structures?

* Next, it there a reason that there's no sanctioned class for this
purpose?

* Can you return a populated namespace from a DTML Method or a Python Script
using existing mechanisms?

* Why can't you set values in "_.namespace()" in DTML after a
namespace has been created?

* To me, it would make so much more sense to be able create a namespace
with temporary variables (as shown in one of the HowTos) rather than
forcing people to hack them using REQUEST.set().  The namespace
could be used directly as a structure (eg, "ns.x") or as a scope 
(eg,).  Is there a deep
reason it doesn't exist?

Anyway, here's my "no-guarantee" class.  Notice the magic member
"__allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__", which the documentation
(read, code) says can also be set to a list of members that you want
to be publicly accessible and unprotected.  Use this code as a guide;
you can trim it down to get what you want.  An instance of this class
can be used directly as an argument to ; to use with
, use either the "getItems" or "getMap()" methods.

[Zope-dev] 2.3.0 release badness

2001-01-28 Thread richard

I've just updated to 2.3.0 release using CVS. My CSS serving has
subsequently broken. The CSS serving worked fine with the CVS code from
2.3.0b2. I didn't get to check b3 - we had a public holiday on Friday and
that meant that the one working day assigned to the b3 release was lost to
me (and _most_ other Australians). Anyway, that's a separate issue ...

I've done a diff against the CVS as of last Tuesday, but I can't see an
obvious place where the Zope code has changed to make the CSS serving fail.

Under Netscape (versions 4.72 -> 4.75), a 'back button' request results in
a truncated plain-text display of the CSS that is linked from the page. The
zope server log shows the request as being successfully served. I telnet'ed
to the server and requested the CSS manually, and the headers all look
fine. A packet sniffer seems to say that all is well.

Now for the fun: this only happens for local requests - someone requesting
the same pages over the ethernet will get them fine. Only Netscape and only
locally. Konqueror locally works fine.

The CSS is being served using the attached class.

Some further experimentation:
1. load the same page five times as follows:
  http://mymachine:8080/blah/
  http://127.0.0.1:8080/blah/
  http://127.0.0.2:8080/blah/
  http://10.0.0.20:8080/blah/
  http://127.0.0.3:8080/blah/
2. starting from either end of those URLs in the browser history, hit the
'forward' button or 'back' button four times to get to the other end.
3. note that the first hit of 'forward' or 'back' (and sometimes other hits
too) the CSS is served as plain text

Of course, embedding the style in the page (a-la the Zope management
interface) gets around this problem, but this is not an option for us.

Again, this was not a problem pre 2.3.0 b3 / release...

Hi!

Nope, this is not only a problem of 2.3.0. I have had the same issue in all
of the 2.3.0x Zope versions, and the problem is not really Zope but Netscape
4.X.

For me, the trouble arises once in a while and specially when I start doing
page reloads quickly. It seems that, when Zope starts serving the document,
Netscape asks for the stylesheet file almost instantly (because it is inside
the HTML's header) and then a sort of synchronizing error happens. When you are
at the local machine the delay between the document requests is larger so the
problem is less frequent.

I have never seen the problem under Netscape 6 or Mozilla. I don't know to
what extent this could be Zope's fault.

Cheers!

Disclaimer: you must be moderately familiar with ZServer/medusa/asynchat for
the following to make sense;

Asynchat used by ZServer and medusa use producers as a way to "push" data
through an async interface. The current version of asynchat requires that
producers be able to produce data immediately on calling their more()
method, untill they are finished, when they return ''. 

My patch adds support for producers being able to "block" by letting
asynchat know if they are ready via a ready() method. This allows you to use
the simple producer model to push data that may not be immediately
available. An example would be a http-fetch producer that fetches data from
upstream for a proxy.

This patch is only useful for people creating or modifying things like
medusa or ZServer.
