RE: [Zope-dev] un-own an object
Maybe you should into them more. I think that they are underappreciated in the Zope world. Very rapid dev (although slower performance). A large part of the Python dev that I am doing is geared to making ZClasses more powerful. take a look at some of my proposals. The events in particular make ZClasses much more powerful. http://www.zope.org/Members/tmclaugh We've been using the event model for ZClass dev very effectively here at BCS. I'll be posting the event code soon.

There is excellent documentation about Zope 2.2 security. There, you should be able to check how reliable my memory is.

I meant create an instance of a ZClass owned by a user who no longer exists (if my 'construct' word made no sense - haven't had coffee yet ;-) ). -Original Message- From: Tim McLaughlin Sent: Friday, April 13, 2001 7:31 AM To: 'Chris Withers'; R.

I found this to be true with ZClass Not quite. It will execute as if it were owned by nobody (the anonymous user). So it has very minimal privileges. > constructors at least.

Like I said (and the docs say), it is the interesection of the two sets of privileges, so it is effectively just the permissions of user nobody. --RDM ___ 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 )
