Hello, I have a function that returns the object when given a path. def path2Object(path): obj = context,restrictedTraverse(path) return obj My concern is whether restrictedTraverse(path) will load into memory every object it traverses through and thus increase memory usage, especially if it is run very frequently and with different path each time. e.g. if my path is '/x/y/z/myobj', will object x, y, and z also get loaded when the object I really want is myobj? What's the state of x,y,z after calling restrictedTraverse(path) - loaded or ghost? If intermediate objects (like x, y, z above) get loaded, is there anyway to ghostify them to reduce memory usage? ...or is there a memory-economic way to get object by path? Many thanks! cheers, Zhi Min
Yes, thats what the catalog is for. zhimin@iss.nus.edu.sg wrote:
