Hi All, I've been playing around a bit with the recently added XML-RPC support for Zope, graciously added by Eric Kidd ( Thank you Eric! ) and have been able to create External Methods and access them remotely from two different XML-RPC clients ( xmlrpclib in Python and Frontier::Client in Perl). This is all VERY cool! I was then wondering if it would be possible to directly call a SQL Method from the client and get results ( ok maybe I was reaching too far too quick, but what the heck I gave it a shot...). This of course did not work. I tried a variety of different SQL methods (all selects ranging from returning single result record to returning multiple record sets). It seems as though SQL Methods are not directly callable from the web, but rather must be referenced from another DTML method/document. When I do try to directly call a SQL Method from the web it always tries to take me to the 'manage_TestForm' for the method. It seems that 'index_html' always redirects there. Is there some deep level of Zen for why this must be the case? Are there security implications if SQL Methods were directly callable? It seems to me that to be able to do: import xmlrpclib s = xmlrpclib.Server("http://somemachine.domain/") result_records = s.method_folder.some_sql_method() would be just WAY TOO COOL! What would it take to make SQL methods directly callable from XML-RPC? Am I just missing something? (very possible :^) Thanks in advance, Dave -- ---------------------------------------------------- David R. White Raytheon Electronic Systems Process Support (508) 440-2087 528 Boston Post Rd.
