> Hi! > > > I also need some testimonials about Zope's rock-solid(?) stability... I ran Zope 2-3-1 for months without problems and only retired it (with the 2-4-3 version) just last week. Thus, it ran from the time that the 2-3-1 version came out until last week without a single crash. The only times I restarted it was when I added/changed a new product. The longest uptime for that instance of Zope was 53 days. It has never hung on me. It has never crashed or refused a request. Splendid performance. Note, the same instance of Zope was running both in production and as a development box. Not exactly the wisest move, by my firm hasn't seen fit to give me a second box. I was able to get away with that, however, because Zope is a solid product. By the way, I've been running Zope on Linux. As of 6:46 pm (Central time) that Linux box had an uptime of over 137 days. It pays to have a stable OS. Being a longtime monitor of this list, I've noted that many of the stability problems of Zope can be attributed to the OS or the specific settings for the OS. IMHO. Ron

Restricting contained objects
by Francisco Manuel Marzoa Alonso 12 Dec '01

12 Dec '01

Hi there, I think I've readed about a manner in which a container object can define what kind of objects can store within it. Does this exist or it was a dream? Just telling me about where in the ZOPE Documentation ocean can find information about this should be enough. Thanks in advance,

Hello, I like this one, because it's a thing which bother me since years. I my opinion, zope is not rock solid. It's a really nice software, but you can not rely on it. If something go wrong deep inside, you may have all your zsever threads blocked. Then you will need some external software to check if the web server still reply, if not you will have to kill and restart it. I don't think ZDaemon (-Z arg?) is of any help in case of hang. I think this can be resolved by putting some effort inside the Zserver. I would like to have a working timeout period for the http request (yes, I try the timeout socket, and for me it change nothing) My conclusion: if everything is ok and put behind apache : stable, if zserver alone and a few glitches: blocked.

LocalFS & MS documents

Hi, Is there a way to combine LocalFS with one of the wvWare based products (MSWordDocument,NuxDocument,DocumentLibrary,...) to automatically serve the MS docs in the LocalFS folder as either plain text or html. thanks Daniel Mahler

FTP/WebDAV & PUT_factory() & PUT()
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

While the list seems to be on the subject, I had a few quick questions... 1. What are the use cases for PUT() vs. PUT_factory? Does PUT() call the PUT_factory() to get an object then set it in the odb, or does PUT() call the PUT_factory() to get an object, set it in the odb, then call that object's PUT() method? Or do I have this all wrong? 2a. I want to do something fancy/tricky, like I have a container/folderish class instance called 'MyDocument' that really wasn't a document at all, but a container that contained a ParsedXML document with the actual document data. Suppose that you wanted to FTP put (replace or create) 'MyDocument', but actually have PUT() use the PUT() method of the ParsedXML doc inside 'MyDocument' (or failing parsing, upload it into a file object inside 'MyDocument' instead). If I understand correctly, PUT_factory() alone wouldn't do enough here; I would actually need to override PUT() as well. 2b. While on the subject, can one FTP put over an object subclassed from ObjectManager? 3. If I understand correctly, PUT_factory() could be used to determine the type that a document gets created as, trigger a CMF workflow state, or something equally as useful, but only for objects that do not already exist in the context/location of the ftp PUT - Is this right?

2.5B2 "anonymous" proxy role
by Brad Clements 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Just upgraded to 2.5 beta 2, still having the same problem described in collector bug 47 But in any case, I went to edit my standard_html_header and I cannot save it. Even though I'm manager I get the dreaded "you do not have proxy role" And strangely enough the role "Anonymous" is in the list and highlighted for standard_html_header. Not sure how that got there, but the usual solution is to assign myself that role, then go clear the role from the object. But when I go to the root /acl_users, "Anonymous" is not a role that can be assigned. And it cannot be created as a local role because it's "already defined". So, I'm completely horked.. I have to delete, then recreate standard_html_header. Anyone know why the Proxy role "Anonymous" got assigned to my standard_html_header (which is not in the root) ?

remote connection
by D. Rick Anderson 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

I don't know how to describe this very well, but I need to make my RedHat Zope server connect to my Win2k Zope server and gain access to a database connection on the Win2k Zope server. Does that make any sense? We have a RH 7.1 server that I want to use as the front-end of our web site and I want everything to look like it's coming from that server, but my Win2k server is the only one that can connect to a certain database that we have. I don't want the Win2k server out there where the public can attack it so it will be on a seperate network that the RH server is connected to. Is there an easy way to do this? I've played with Zclient and is seems like it is used for connecting to non-zope machines. Does Zope have some built in hook for sharing resources? Thanks, Rick

"Publishing" static content
by Derek Simkowiak 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

My client wants to use Zope to manage a website. They want Zope's security, acquisition, etc. This is for a site with completely static content. After the site looks good under Zope, they want to "publish" the content to another (offsite, timeshared) Apache webserver. This would be standard HTML after Zope processes it (no DTML), and regular images (GIF/JPG), Flash, and AVI files. The deal is, they want to use a webhosting service that does not offer Zope. Is there a way to do this? I understand that you'd need the Zope server to be there for any dynamic content, but this is for static content only. I'm think a button I push that "syncs" up the Apache webhosting server with the Zope content. The first problem I see is that objects in zope don't carry extensions, i.e., it's index_html, not index.html. The Apache server would use those extensions to come up with the MIME type (HTTP Content-Type header)--if the files from Zope don't have extensions, how will the Apache server know what kind of file it is (and not just serve it up under the default text/plain MIME type?) Please advise. Thank You, Derek Simkowiak dereks(a)realloc.net

Thanks for the reply. I guess the next step is to work out how to reproduce the workflow elements of the CMF UI in a ZMI-based UI. I imagine that clues on how this would be done could be found in the "actions_box" method in the CMF Demo site. Is there any other code in the CMF Demo site that might be useful ? cheers, Darcy > > Tres. > -- > =============================================================== > Tres Seaver tseaver(a)zope.com > Zope Corporation "Zope Dealers" http://www.zope.com >
