The problem is your setup.

I have to explain a bit that you can understand the problem.

  Zope's request processing has roughly two phases:
  URL traversal to locate the object identified by the URL
  and then calling the located object.

  At the end of URL traversal lies the user authentication.
  This proceeds as follows: Zope starts at the located
  object and looks upward (towards to root) to find
  a User Folder which is ready to authenticate the user
  with the required roles. It will ask each User Folder
  it finds above the object until one gives a positive answer.
  The highest user folder will always return a user, maybe
  the anonymous one.

If your User Folder calls out to a backend system and this backend
system calls back (via URL) into an area controlled by your User Folder,
then you lose -- as the User Folder will again call out and wait for an
answer before it will call the object...

Move the thing called back out of your hiararchy dominated by the
UserFolder. Then, you might have success.

Eh? You've never heard of a blocking problem before?

You're creating a blocking loop, which you seem to have now fixed... 
nothing odd about that...

RE: [Zope] Problem with running same script at a time

2006-09-21 Thread Pletli Antal
Thank you Dieter!

Here is the exact scenario, which in I first observed the problem:

I have a external zope python module that communicates via TCP with a
background system written in Java.
I have a background system that communicates with the Zope via URL.

I have a demo user folder in my Zope project with two scripts. The first
script sends a tcp message to the background (with the help of external
module), the second one do something when the background call it via
url.

First the Zope script sends a tcp message to background system, and
waits for the reply. The background receives the message and try to call
the url by http request, then if it is success replies to Zope script's
tcp request.
Here is the problem. The background system cannot access the URL  until
in the first script tcp timeout happen.

When I move the second script into other outer folder, all is OK.

It is very strange, and I'v never read from this problem before.

Best regards,

Antal

I had to fix a problem in "psycopg":

   During "connect", Python's Global Interpreter Lock (GIL)
   was not released (freezing Zope during connect).

   Usually, this is not a problem as "connect" is quite a fast
   operation.

   We noticed it only when the server for the postgres installation
   was down (then "connect" became a several minute operation
   until the TCP timeout happened).

However, it is unlikely, that this is your problem.

This, too, should not happen -- and I never observed it (but a colleague
reported something like this but never showed it to me -- and I did not
believe him; or more precisly, I tested his alledgedly observed
behaviour and could not reproduce it...)

>In these cases the
>folder wich contains the scripts be unaccessible.

Unbelievable -- unless your folder access triggers the long socket
communication. In this case, it would not be the old socket
communication that "blocks" but the new one.

Of course, your folder access should not trigger anything else...

RE: [Zope] Problem with running same script at a time

2006-09-21 Thread Pletli Antal
My system is a developer server so i'm the only one who use the zope.
When i run the script there is not other worker script.
I'm newbie but i read that there is a tool named zasync that maybe
solves my problem but i cannot install it yet. I would like solve my
problem without this if possible.

Perhaps you're other worker threads are blocked by long-running
requests?

This is surprising...

You might be using an unfortunate Postgres adapter library.

We are using "psycopg" and do not observe this problem.
