Java vs Zope
by David Johnson 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Good afternoon. I am new to Zope and I am excited about its possibilities. We are an ASP and plan to use Zope to improve our development process. I see that many people use J2EE based environments. Does anyone understand why? Why would anyone use Java? What am I missing? We're ready to go forward with Zope but I fear I might be missing something. Thanks for any opinions!

dynamically creating zip file, returning to user
by John Toews 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Zope 2.8.0, Python 2.3.5 I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to zip up some files in my zope instance and return them to the user. I can sucessfully create a zip file on the local file system, but if I try to pass it back to the user it is corrupted. Of course I'd rather not create this tmp3.zip file, so if there's a way around that (which I'm sure there is!) please do let me know. filename = 'test.zip' response = self.REQUEST.RESPONSE response.setHeader('Content-Type','application/zip') response.setHeader('Content-Disposition','attachment; filename=%s' % filename) # tried zf = zipfile.ZipFile( response, 'w' ) but get error, ZHTTP object doesn't have tell method zf = zipfile.ZipFile( '/tmp3.zip', 'w' ) zf.writestr( 'testfilename', str( self._getOb( testfileid ) ) ) zf.close() f = open('/tmp3.zip') return f.read() Any thoughts on what fairly obvious thing I'm doing wrong? Thanks! John

RE: [Zope] Re: ZServer threads and pool-size question

I saw that once on Zope 2.8.4, cause I was using a connection in a independent thread not linked to any incoming request and had forgotten about it ;) Never since then, so it looks like threads = pool size is fine for my setup. Can you confirm this feature is included in Zope 2.8 ?

Not having extra connections available has the > potential to block the server. That's not true anymore in recent ZODBs. Zope 2.9 will never block and always allocate new connections as needed. It will log warnings if the number grows too much though.

Thanks, I will try that ;) -----Message d'origine----- De : Dieter Maurer [mailto:dieter@handshake.de] Envoyé : mercredi 4 janvier 2006 19:52 À : Pascal Peregrina Cc : Jens Vagelpohl; zope list user Objet : RE: [Zope] ZServer threads and pool-size question Pascal Peregrina wrote at 2006-1-4 13:34 -0000: >I understand. > >So what is the typical value to use for pool-size given a certain threads number: n+3 ? It depends on how intensively you are using additional (application level) threads: Each thread using persistent objects requires in general (at least) one ZODB connection. As such threads are relatively rare, additional 3 connections is not too bad for the general case. -- Dieter ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

adding a custom attribute to a mybrain object
by Huron 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Hi, I'd like to sort of add some metadata to a returned mybrain before it gets handed to the skin for display. I've been thinking that it could be possible to just do a 'setattr' on my mybrain ... but it's not working since the brain is a very special object relatively to it's attributes (from what I understand browsing the code). It there a way to do that properly ? Thanks in advance, -- huron

Fwd: [Zope] Cookie Crumbler
by Infor Gates 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Sorry for the typo error at the last sentence. However, neither this nor the original logged_out dtml seems to work. Is it because I am using frames in my dtml that causes it or I am getting the concept of how Cookie Crumbler works - WRONG ? Thank you. Note: forwarded message attached. --------------------------------- Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about. Just $16.99/mo. or less

Javascript obfuscator and Zope
by David H 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi list, I am wondering if anyone is obfuscating JavaScript using a python script or product. I did some googling but nothing cropped up. Seems like a nice idea unless the realities of javascript obfuscation make the exercise pointless. Any thoughts? David

I understand. So what is the typical value to use for pool-size given a certain threads number: n+3 ?

What did your Zope server do in 2004?
by Jake 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

I was looking at stats this morning for my Zope installation and thought it would be fun to share with others what you are running and how many hits your Zope server did this year (not counting the last 3 days of course). Pages: 4,025,657 Hits: 21,783,750 Bandwidth: 68.27 GB Hardware: AMD 2.133, 1.5 GB RAM, RAID 1 w/ 2 x 36GB SCSI Zope: 2.7b4, CMF 1.4, Plone 2.0 and many products That is almost 30% more than I did last year. A few more sites, more traffic, all good. Reply with your stats: Pages: Hits: Bandwidth: Hardware: Zope: Jake -- http://www.ZopeZone.com

ZServer threads and pool-size question
by Pascal Peregrina 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi, Can anyone tell me why, by default in a zope instance config file, the connection pool size is 7 while the number of zserver threads is 4? Why not 4 and 4? Thanks.
