I answered similar questions at least three times recently (you know the searchable mailing list archives (or Google)?). Put a feature request into the collector: you want an "urlparam_expr" attribute for "dtml-tree".... Dieter

Authentication/Validation & overriding exception responses patterns
by Andrew Athan 12 Apr '01

12 Apr '01

Root acl_users --YourFolder --acl_users(e.g., LoginManager) So it seems to me that Zope's user validation mechanism has a "feature" ("flaw"): There is no way to unequivocally deny access or completely change the login behavior for a resource from within YourFolder's acl_users other than to raise an exception. This is because returning 'None' from within your validate method causes Zope to seek validation up the path. At best, such as when Zope's "standard" mechanism of user acquisition is what's desired here's what will happen: If there is user data in the cookie, and that user exists & is valid, the request will be validated by the higher level folder and the higher level folder's user's roles apply. That's standard Zope behavior, right? Acquisition If the cookie does not contain a validated user, the higher level folder will attempt authentication. This will be the ugly browser panel. If you DON'T return None then Zope assumes the request has been validated with that user. This is not the desired behavior either. Even staying out of the realm of python/product code, if you restrict the permissions of an object severly in YourFolder, and your acl_users folder wants to deny access based on these restricted permissions, what can it do? If it returns None, the user will get re-authenticated higher up. If it returns a user, the page will be displayed. I have nothing against exceptions per-se, except that they seem to circumvent the "natural" progression of events within the Zope server. E.g., transactions and other request/response handling gets co-opted. Aren't there situations where it would be valid to engage in certain server side interactions --even though-- the requested page was forbidden or the user unknown? So, if raising an exception is simply the accepted means of handling this type of situation, then I have a few more questions: (1) What is the accepted pattern for overidding HTTPResponse's exception() code? I see that the original LoginManager code swizzles the unauthorize() function pointer, is that what I should do to change exception handling too? (2) How do people typically make sure that "pretty" exception pages are displayed to users? Is the accepted paradigm to put a <dtml-try> wrapper in the standard-html_header/standard-html_footer? Thanks in advance, A.

What's the difference between getattr() and hasattr()? When do you use what? What's the different benefits? Peter

MemoryError in Zope 2.3.1
by Norman Khine 12 Apr '01

Hello, since the update to 2.3.1b1 and now to 2.3.1, I have experienced a lot of Zserver hang ups, and keep on getting the following error: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: MemoryError Error Value: Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/home/khine/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /usr/home/khine/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/home/khine/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /usr/home/khine/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /usr/home/khine/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_main) File /usr/home/khine/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_main) File /usr/home/khine/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 324, in __call__ (Object: manage_main) File /usr/home/khine/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 354, in _bindAndExec (Object: manage_main) File /usr/home/khine/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/App/special_dtml.py, line 236, in _exec (Object: manage_main) File /usr/home/khine/usr/local/lib/python2.0/string.py, line 129, in join MemoryError: (see above) I rarely experinced this with other versions. Maybe my problem is that I am using python2.0, but this was not an issue before. Any ideas as to how I can trouble shoot this.

I tried this, but it works differently, it changes the calling DTML method's title instead of the container folder. But, it doesn't seem to want to access the xronDTMLMethod's (called UserEvent_TEST) title.

Problem with passing objects from External Methods
by Chris McDonough 12 Apr '01

12 Apr '01

Hi Jason, This turned out to be a bug in Zope's ClassSecurityInfo implementation. A fix has been checked in to the release (http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-checkins/2001-April/005941.html) You can either patch your current release or wait for 2.3.2... I tested your method against the fix and it works... HTH, - C ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Joy" <kyroraz(a)usa.net> To: "Chris McDonough" <chrism(a)digicool.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2001 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [Re: [Re: [Re: [Re: [Zope] Problem with passing objects from External Methods]]]] No problem Chris, I thank you for taking your time to peek at this. And I thought it was only fair since I rebuilt it a bit (hense the update) that you should have the results of that rebuild. Sometimes, rebuilding it seems to fix programming problems, but no luck this time. Many thanks, Jason "Chris McDonough" <chrism(a)digicool.com> wrote: Thanks so much for this summary...
