Hi, I'm trying to run Sybase 11.9.2 with Zope 2.2.0. using SybaseDA2.0b2 Everything was fine with Zope 2.1.6 so far. But with this new version of Zope I get an error like (having commented out the try/except clause to catch it - traceback appended to this mail): Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute 'server' The error is raised because in the Sybase Adapter an attribute 'server' of connection_string is accessed. Looking at the 2.1.6 code of Connection.py I found two new lines, which convert connection_string into a real string. Commenting out these lines makes everything work. But: IS THIS SAFE? connection_string is of type ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.record before the str() conversion. manage_properties=HTMLFile('connectionEdit', globals()) def manage_edit(self, title, connection_string, check=None, REQUEST=None): """Change connection """ # title=str(title) <--- 'bad' lines # connection_string=str(connection_string) <--- 'bad' lines self.edit(title, connection_string, check) if REQUEST is not None: Any comments would be appreciated. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ralph Heinkel Cenix Bioscience GmbH Director of the IT-Unit Tel : +49 6221/387 915 Meyerhofstr. 1 Fax : +49 6221/387 971 69117 Heidelberg, Germany eMail: heinkel@cenix-bioscience.com Traceback (innermost last): File /opt/src/Zope-2.2.0-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /opt/src/Zope-2.2.0-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /opt/src/Zope-2.2.0-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: RoleManager) File /opt/src/Zope-2.2.0-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /opt/src/Zope-2.2.0-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_edit) File /opt/src/Zope-2.2.0-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_edit) File /opt/src/Zope-2.2.0-src/lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/Connection.py, line 168, in manage_edit (Object: RoleManager) File /opt/src/Zope-2.2.0-src/lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/Connection.py, line 160, in edit (Object: RoleManager) File /opt/src/Zope-2.2.0-src/lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/Connection.py, line 231, in connect (Object: RoleManager) File /opt/src/Zope-2.2.0-src/lib/python/Products/SybaseDAv2/db.py, line 135, in __init__ AttributeError: (see above)
