oddity in MailHost queue processor thread
by Maric Michaud 04 May '10

04 May '10

Hi all, I was surprised by the behavior of asynchronous mailing in zope 2.11.3 MailHost product. It creates a thread by instance of MailHost by the mean of using self.absolute_url(1) as key for the queue_threads dictionnary. It seems obviously wrong, IMO, if several instances share the same queue directory, mesages actually get sent more than once. Following is the monkey patch which works fine for me, but the idea is straightforward, it's to use the realpath of the smtp_queue_directory as the identifier of the thread, ensuring that MailHosts that share the same queue directory will also share the same thread for processing mails. regards, # un monkey patch du mailhost de zope2.11, ce dernier utilise une thread # par instance de mailhost pour la getsion de la queue de messages, ce n'est # pas correct, il faut qu'il garantisse qu'il n'y a qu'une thread par # répertoire réel de queue. from Products.MailHost import MailHost as mh if not hasattr(mh.MailBase, '_cfenet_patched_queueThreadAlive'): mh.MailBase._cfenet_patched_queueThreadAlive = mh.MailBase.queueThreadAlive def queueThreadAlive(self): """return True/False is queue thread is working""" from Products.MailHost import MailHost as mh from os.path import realpath # Il est important d'avoir un mailer unique par répertoire th = mh.queue_threads.get(realpath(self.smtp_queue_directory)) return th and th.isAlive() mh.MailBase.queueThreadAlive = queueThreadAlive if not hasattr(mh.MailBase, '_cfenet_patched__stopQueueProcessorThread'): mh.MailBase._cfenet_patched__stopQueueProcessorThread = \ mh.MailBase._stopQueueProcessorThread @mh.synchronized(mh.MailBase.lock) def _stopQueueProcessorThread(self): """ Stop thread for processing the mail queue """ from Products.MailHost import MailHost as mh from os.path import realpath path = realpath(self.smtp_queue_directory) if mh.queue_threads.has_key(path): th = mh.queue_threads[path] th.stop() while th.isAlive(): # wait until thread is really dead mh.time.sleep(0.3) del mh.queue_threads[path] mh.LOG.info('Thread for %s stopped' % path) mh.MailBase._stopQueueProcessorThread = _stopQueueProcessorThread if not hasattr(mh.MailBase, '_cfenet_patched__startQueueProcessorThread'): mh.MailBase._cfenet_patched__startQueueProcessorThread = \ mh.MailBase._startQueueProcessorThread @mh.synchronized(mh.MailBase.lock) def _startQueueProcessorThread(self): """ Start thread for processing the mail queue """ from Products.MailHost import MailHost as mh from os.path import realpath path = realpath(self.smtp_queue_directory) if not mh.queue_threads.has_key(path): th = mh.QueueProcessorThread() th.setMailer(self._makeMailer()) th.setQueuePath(self.smtp_queue_directory) th.start() mh.queue_threads[path] = th mh.LOG.info('Thread for %s started' % path) mh.MailBase._startQueueProcessorThread = _startQueueProcessorThread -- _____________ Maric Michaud

problems with emergency user
by Nuno Carvalho 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Hi all, I'm using Zope (version 2.10.11) through Plone. I lost my admin password to access ZMI. I created a file named "access" using the zpassword.py script, as described here: http://docs.zope.org/zope2/zope2book/Security.html?highlight=password#creat… I tried to place this file in several directories, such as: /usr/local/Plone/Zope-2.10.11-final-py2.4 /usr/local/Plone/zeocluster /usr/local/Plone/zeocluster/var /usr/local/Plone/zeocluster/var/filestorage (this last one is where Data.fs is) among others. I'm not able to login through http://localhost:8080/manage I need some help! Can anyone give me a hint on how can I solve this? Thanks in advance!

Older Zope w/newer CA packages
by Jim Pharis 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

We are currently on Zope 2.9.6 and we are working on upgrading but it isn't going to happen anytime soon. I'm trying to use a package that is depending on a few newer component architecture packages; zope.component, zope.interface... Even though zope.component and zope.interface hadn't been egged in 2.9.6, Zope Products seem to import from zope.component in Python lib instead of zope/component in the Zope. Is there any clean way to isolate the newer packages? If its possible this might actually help with a gradual upgrade as well. Any recommendations or techniques would be most useful. TIA, - Jim

problem with commits in SQLAlchemyDA
by Maric Michaud 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

Hi all, I wanted to use SQALchemyDA with a standalone Zope 2.11 (we only depends on CMFCore). i tried to get it up using easy_install, which is pretty straightforward, once removed the incompatible zope.component package needed in the dependencies. It ends up with the following installed packages (skipping zope 3 components) : zope.sqlalchemy-0.4-py2.4.egg z3c.sqlalchemy-1.3.10.1-py2.4.egg SQLAlchemy-0.5.5-py2.4.egg Products.SQLAlchemyDA-0.4.1-py2.4.egg At first glance, this works well, but the DA actually can't manage to commit any sql requests (I try only for insert in Mysql and postgres but I'm sure it's always true). This is quite an unexpectable behavior for a DA. I think the problem is related to this thread I found on tg-trunk newsgroup : http://www.mail-archive.com/turbogears-trunk@googlegroups.com/msg07302.html There is a misleading comment in the docstring of zope.sqlalchemy.datamanager.join_transaction speaking of a DirtyAfterFlush SessionExtension, which I never seen except in plone code. In the last I finally manage to make it work by monkey patching SQLAlchemyDA itself this way : try : from Products.SQLAlchemyDA import da from z3c.sqlalchemy import getSAWrapper, createSAWrapper if '0.4.1' in da.__file__ and not hasattr(da.SAWrapper, '_patched__wrapper_property') : da.SAWrapper._patched__wrapper_property = da.SAWrapper._wrapper def _always_invalidated_wrapper(self): """The property '_wrapper' patched by CFENet to correct what seems to be a bug in SQLAlchemyDA which prevents any commit.""" from zope.sqlalchemy.datamanager import STATUS_INVALIDATED if self.dsn: try: return getSAWrapper(self.util_id) except ValueError: return createSAWrapper( self.dsn, forZope=True, transactional=self.transactional, engine_options={'convert_unicode' : self.convert_unicode, 'encoding' : self.encoding}, extension_options={'initial_state': # the whole # point is here STATUS_INVALIDATED}, name=self.util_id) return None da.SAWrapper._wrapper = property(_always_invalidated_wrapper) except ImportError : pass Anyone has any insights about this problem, any comments on my solution, did it have been reported and corrected, or am I simply missing something ? -- _____________ Maric Michaud

identity values from sql server , mxodbc da
by Josh Burvill 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Hi I am using zope 2.8.11 I am using mxodbc da to connect to sql server and I was wondering what is the best way to get the new value of the primary key (an identity field) after inserting. It looks like there are 3 slightly different functions I could use: """"""""""" SCOPE_IDENTITY, IDENT_CURRENT, and @@IDENTITY are similar functions because they return values that are inserted into identity columns. IDENT_CURRENT is not limited by scope and session; it is limited to a specified table. IDENT_CURRENT returns the value generated for a specific table in any session and any scope. For more information, see IDENT_CURRENT (Transact-SQL) <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175098.aspx>. SCOPE_IDENTITY and @@IDENTITY return the last identity values that are generated in any table in the current session. However, SCOPE_IDENTITY returns values inserted only within the current scope; @@IDENTITY is not limited to a specific scope. """""" (from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190315.aspx) It seems like scope_identity might be the best one to use, but is it possible that two zope transactions might occur within the one sql server "scope" and "session" and therefore get the wrong identity value depending on timing etc. Thanks in advance

Zope for .NET
by Brian Sullivan 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

I am looking for an open source .NET framework that includes user management, authentication, multiple configurable levels of security, tools for html generation and is data base agnostic or includes some sort of built in data base. It would be nice if it had a host of open source add ins. Basically Zope functionality for .NET. Is there anything like that out there -- or even something close?
