i've been very curious, what the plan is for attacking the no magic problem described on the wiki. my understanding is this isn't possible without altering the publishing process. i guess i was curious if the component based publisher that was talked about at ipc9 was ever going to see the light of day or if there was another strategy that would work as well.
I think that components will ultimately be the answer to this. You would basically create a "SOAP publishing component" (or one might be provided but not necessarily activated by default) and associate it with interfaces supported by the objects that you want to publish via SOAP. I encourage people interested in this to be sure to pay attention to the ongoing component architecture work at: http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/ ...and be sure to provide any feedback you have. There is enough detail there now that developers should be able to start getting an idea of how such a thing would work - or at least start asking more detailed questions about the grey areas :) Brian Lloyd brian@zope.com Software Engineer 540.361.1716 Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com
