November 1999 - Zope

Re: [Zope] Zope setup with firewall
by Nemeth Miklos 17 Nov '99

Thanks a lot! I am going to discuss the topic with my network admin. (1) Just one more thing to make me sure: There is no possiblity to access Zope directly (that is without going out to the Internet) from the local network in this architecture? (2) And another one. What about this "layout": AnyBrowser+SSL <--HTTP--> Apache Proxy+SSL <--> firewall <--> Apache+SSL+pcgi <---> Zope+Fnorb <--IIOP--> SQLBroker+ORBacus <--SQL*Net--> CorporateDatabase(Oracle7) The first Apache would be set up restricting acces with the Location tags in httpsd.conf as you suggested. This would be used only for forwarding appropriate HTTP requests to the second Apache server. All internal users might be able to diractly access Zope through the second Apache server.

Re - Making non-aware ZClass CatalogAware
by Alexandre Ratti 17 Nov '99

17 Nov '99

Hi Alexander, There was a hack some time ago that allowed to change the base classes for a ZClass. I used it once or twice in 2.0.1. I've never used it in 2.1b. Take a look at this email: <http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/1999-August/001288.html>. It contains explanations and an external method developped by Andreas Kostyrka. Be careful with it: better back up your database before trying it! Cheers.

Transparent powered by Zope button ?
by Gregor Hoffleit 17 Nov '99

17 Nov '99

Hi, the "Powered by Zope" button is quite nice, but it doesn't fit too well on pages with a coloured background. I'd like to have a version with a transparent background. If someone from DC is reading this: Would it be possible to make available a transparent GIF (and preferably also PNG) of the button ? Gregor

Javascript wizards wanted for Zope project
by Anthony Pfrunder 17 Nov '99

17 Nov '99

Hi, I'm working on the VisualZope project and have run into some problems with javascript. Since it isn't my native language (python is) I was wondering if some javascript wizards are interested in getting their names in the credits. The problem is: how do I get a form to talk to an object in another frame? ie: <input value=".." ... onchange="mywidget.setAttribute('property', value-of-inputbox)> where mywidget is a javascript function defined in another (loaded) frame. Also, how can I "call" a html page without causing a reload: function jsZDOMsetAttribute(name, value){ call("getWidget/setAttribute?name=name&value=value") } For further information on this problem please see http://163.182.196.200/zwiki/VisualZope - jsZDOM reflecter part. Thanks in advance, Anthony Pfrunder

Zope setup with firewall
by Nemeth Miklos 17 Nov '99

17 Nov '99

I'd like to have the following architecture: AnyBrowser+SSL <-HTTP-> Apache+SSL+pcgi <--> firewall <--> Zope+Fnorb <-IIOP-> SQLBroker+ORBacus <-SQL*Net-> CorporateDatabase(Oracle7) The users access Zope from the Internet via an Apache+SSL server. For security reasons my network administrator (responsible for security) does not want to allow any Zope management activity initiated from the Internet. However I do want to manage Zope from the internal network while web clients are using my Zope application at the same time. (1) How can I access my Zope from the internal network? Can anyone suggests me a solution to my problem? A less important problem is that my network administrator also wishes a secured communication between the Apache+SSL server and Zope (over the firewall). This communication is the task of pcgi. (2) Is there any solution to do this? FYI: SQLBroker is an ORBacus CORBA server written in C++ providing centralized connection pooling and transaction management for any kind of clients of the corporate database. SQLBroker is written by me using Oracle7 OCI. Fnorb is an excellent (Python) CORBA ORB working perfectly with ORBacus (C++ and Java), which is also an excellent CORBA ORB implementation. All comments are highly appreciated. NM

RE:Javascript help
by Anthony Pfrunder 17 Nov '99

17 Nov '99

Wow! Thanks to all you kind souls. I've got enough information to go from here and will let you know of my progress. I'll release the jsZDOM in a separate product as I think it is a generally useful thing to be able to remotely cause updating of Zope without causing a reload of an expensive (processing wise) page. (Never ceases to amaze me the speed and quality of the work that goes on in the Zope world - back from lunch and I have a written step by step set of instructions ;) Thanks all, Anthony Pfrunder PS: Monitor the Zwiki site for the scratch-pads of other interesting projects. I'm sure DC will move Zwiki onto the main Zope site fairly soon (hint hint) as it is a GREAT way to discuss projects.

IDE drives have been traditionally targeted at the consumer market, while SCSI drives are aimed at the professional/server market. If you look at the Mean Time Between Failures numbers for the two types, SCSI tends to have been designed for higher reliability. That said, however, I have only ever had 2 IDE drives go south on me, with 0 scsi over the course of about 10 years. Those numbers are close enough for me, usually. Drive throughput tends to not be a huge issue with webservers, since servers spend most of their time seeking from one small object > > to another, not streaming enormous files to a network socket. With seek times anywhere between 8-14ms, and average object size somewhere around 8-15KB, if every object requires only one seek and one read from the disk, you can still only get about 70 transactions/second (assuming the read is instantaneous, which it isn't), which is only about 1 MB/second throughput. Therefore, it is much better to use multiple, slower drives, and distribute objects across multiple machines. Unfortunately, the data in zope is all stored in a single file, so this cannot be done.

IWill & Tekram put out SCSI3 cards under $70 (according to http://www.pricewatch.com) Anyone use these guys? However, I'm not sure a cheap/close-out SCSI drive will match the performance-to-value ratio to a new ATA-66. http://www.storagereview.com has lots of drive tests that leads me to this thought. If I was spending more than $1000 for a new system, I'd go SCSI for sure. I need to keep below $700, but SCSI is one of my first planned upgrades. Is SCSI worth me getting a old used system with 64MB of RAM & slapping a SCSI card into it, or should I go for a new (dual) Celeron with 128MB? > > > > > > Has anyone actually done performce tests with Zope & SQL to compare what component has the most impact for a _cheap_ system: CPU, memory, or HD throughput (ATA vs SCSI)? > > > > > > Thanks for Stephan, Jim, & Nitin for the replies! > > > -- > > > > > > On Sun, 14 Nov 1999 18:28:56 Nitin Borwankar wrote in "Re: [Zope] What to buy for cheap Zope host?": > > > >tommy_b(a)my-deja.com wrote: > > > >> I'm building a computer to train & test Zope.

ZSQL retreive auto_increment id inserted [Q]
by Bruno Mattarollo 17 Nov '99

17 Nov '99

Hello. I have just a simple question... I am using Zope 2.0.1 on a Solaris Sparc machine. MySQL 3.22.25 and MySQLdb 0.1.1 ... Everything works fine... I have a table that has a field that is an integer auto_increment ... How do I retreive the id just inserted? I mean, when I used the MySQLmodule, directly from Python, there was a method to do just that... Can I do this using a method from the ZSQL? I checked the ZQR but found no such method ... TIA /B Bruno Mattarollo <brunomadv(a)ciudad.com.ar> --- Python Powered <http://www.python.org/psa/>

Python/Zope scripting + GEL Media distribution questions
by Ray Thompson 17 Nov '99

17 Nov '99

FYI: we're thinking of using Python (and ultimately Zope) to facilitate an online authoring environment for the new, "open source" Graph Evaluation Language (GEL) project. I'm forwarding the following note (from GEL's lead engineer) in the interest of discovering where Python, Zope, and GEL might *collide* in a beneficial manner. If this post is inappropriate for this list please let me know and I'll refrain from overstepping the bounds in future.
