hello, I have a method that reads: ------------8<---------------- def do_something(self): from Zope import DB conn = db.open() conn.root()['name'] = 'value' get_transaction().commit() conn.close() ------------8<---------------- the method can be called from everywhere, and that's the reason why I have to open a connection, in case one is not available. the question is: what transaction is commited with get_transaction().commit() ? It is only the one associated with the connection, or also the transaction in which is the caller? I mean, if my method is called from within Zope, is the transaction of the caller commited? thanks for any response regards, jephte.clain@univ-reunion.fr ______________________________________________________ Boîte aux lettres - Caramail - http://www.caramail.com
