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?

Zope Performance with Multiple Mount Points
by Brian Brinegar 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

We've recently moved to a Zope configuration with approximately 30 separate databases mounted at mount points within a main database. Previously, we ran a single database which was approaching 300GB in size. We chose to split the database to reduce Data.fs size. We now run 30 separate ZEO Servers (on a single machine). However, after switching to this configuration we've noticed some performance issues. Initially, after a client is restarted and builds out it's caches the site runs very quickly. However as the memory usage grows the performance degrades. If the client gets into swap the client practically dies. We had 10,000 object caches on each of the databases with 2 threads on the client. 30 x 10,000 x 2 = 600,000 objects in memory. We've since reduced the cache sizes to 1,000 or 30 x 1,000 x 2 = 60,000 objects. This seemed to extend the life of a client between restarts. Generally, our client machines will hover around 97%-99% memory usage and 90%-100% CPU (on a 2 CPU machine). We still experience periodic performance problems and are looking for any input that might help us address them. Thanks for your input, -- Brian Brinegar Web Services Coordinator Engineering Computer Network

Zope 2.8.4 - ZEO ClientStorage cache problem
by Maciej Wisniowski 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hi! I have a problem with my instances of Zope 2.8.4: recently they started to run slowly. Restarting doesn't help much. After observing Zope threads with DeadlockDebugger we found that very often threads are stuck while trying to access to ZEO cache file. We have ZEO server and 2 ZEO clients. Each client has 10 threads. Example output from DeadlockDebugger (attached at the end of this message) shows that a lot of threads is executing self._lock.release() in loadEx function. Attached dump is from ZEO Client instance. I wonder how it is possible that so much threads in this dump are releasing lock in the same time? Shouldn't they stay on acquire? We did more dumps from DeadlockDebugger. Almost every time dump shows that there are some threads that are doing something in loadEx, like: (...) File "/opt/Zope/2.8.4/lib/python/ZEO/ClientStorage.py", line 755, in loadEx self._lock.release() File "/opt/Zope/2.8.4/lib/python/ZEO/cache.py", line 194, in load return o.data, tid, o.version File "/opt/Zope/2.8.4/lib/python/ZEO/cache.py", line 1010, in access return Object.fromFile(self.f, key) Seems to me that access to ZEO cache is a deadlock there, but I don't know why. Why it is so often and so slow(?) that I can see it in DeadlockDebugger almost every time? I don't remember seeing loadEx on output from DeadlockDebugger before. I've checked disk I/O and it is ok. Event log shows: 2010-04-07T13:48:03 WARNING ZODB.DB DB.open() has 13 open connections with a pool_size of 7 which is our bad, as we have 10 threads and too small pool_size=7, but I'm not sure if this matters. I wonder that maybe, under heavy load, when sometimes all 10 threads are used, Zope has to continuosly create and destroy Connection objects and this causes "filling/flushing" their caches - I have no idea if this works that way? Any ideas what might be wrong, or what can I check?

choices for replacing DTML
by Brad Allen 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hello, At work, we have a large Zope 2 app which uses DTML templates. At this point we're interested considering alternatives such as chameleon.ZPT, Cheetah, Mako, etc. Are there any good articles or earlier discussion threads comparing the advantages of ZPT with other Python templating solutions? It seems that ZPT has been the default choice for the Zope community, but is that still the case? Thanks!

Problems with i18n in Zope-2.12
by Maciej Zięba 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Hi :-) I'm trying do develop a Zope-2.12 based application and I'm having problems with internationalizing it... :-/ The *.po files are OK it seems, as translating in ZPTs with i18n:translate works fine but I cannot get the translations to work in python code. How should that be done? I'm only just learning development on Zope-2.12, but I have some experience with Zope-2.10 and Plone-3 I've tried 2 approaches: 1. zope.i18nmessageid.MessageFactory, like this: from zope.i18nmessageid import MessageFactory _ = MessageFactory('MyDomain') my_str = _(u'my_label', default=u'Some text') This doesn't translate at all. my_str has 'my_label' value even though there is a default value. 2. zope.i18n.translate, like this from zope.i18n import translate translate(u'my_label', 'MyDomain', default=u'Some text') This only translates the msgid to English and I want it to translate to Polish (I've tried in Polish version of Firefox, Konqueror and Arora). What am I doing wrong? In the past I have used 1. in Plone-3 and it worked, so what has changed? Or maybe I'm missing some package? Also if someone could point me to some good resources about i18n, that would be great. I would be very grateful for any help or pointers. Best regards, MaciekZ

ZCA / five / zcml overrides issue...
by Bruno Desthuilliers 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hi there I probably missed some point about how this Component Architecture / ZCML config stuff is supposed to work with zope 2.10+ (actually Zope 2.10.5), ,so any hint or pointer welcome... Here's my problem: I use a third-part product (ContentMirror) that defines some interfaces and their implementations, and register the adapters in it's configure.zcml. It also defines a couple zcml directives, with actions that call component.getMultiAdapter to retrieve the implementation for these interfaces. I'd like to provide my own implementation for one of these interfaces. So I wrote the implementation, added an <include> of the ContentMirror package in my own configure.zcml, and an overrides.zcml with the registration directive for my own implementation: <configure xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope">  <adapter for="ore.contentmirror.interfaces.IMirrored ore.contentmirror.interfaces.ISchemaTransformer" provides="ore.contentmirror.interfaces.IPeerFactory" factory=".peer.ManagedSchemaPeerFactory" /> </configure> Bad luck, the whole thing then crashes when ContentMirror's own zcml directive are executed - looks like none of the adapter are effectively registred by that time (it of course worked just fine - but with the original IPeerfactory implementation - before I added this override). Here's the traceback I get at startup: 2010-03-23 11:41:41 ERROR Application Couldn't install Five Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/zope/share/Plone-3.0.6/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 786, in install_product initmethod(context) File "/home/zope/share/Plone-3.0.6/lib/python/Products/Five/__init__.py", line 28, in initialize zcml.load_site() File "/home/zope/share/Plone-3.0.6/lib/python/Products/Five/zcml.py", line 53, in load_site _context = xmlconfig.file(file) File "/home/zope/share/Plone-3.0.6/lib/python/zope/configuration/xmlconfig.py", line 581, in file context.execute_actions() File "/home/zope/share/Plone-3.0.6/lib/python/zope/configuration/config.py", line 612, in execute_actions callable(*args, **kw) File "/home/zope/share/Products/ProductsOTHERS/ContentMirror/eggs/ore.contentmirror-0.5.2b2-py2.4.egg/ore/contentmirror/loader.py", line 39, in load peer_class = self.peer( instance, transformer ) File "/home/zope/share/Products/ProductsOTHERS/ContentMirror/eggs/ore.contentmirror-0.5.2b2-py2.4.egg/ore/contentmirror/loader.py", line 51, in peer interfaces.IPeerFactory ) File "/home/zope/share/Plone-3.0.6/lib/python/zope/component/_api.py", line 103, in getMultiAdapter raise ComponentLookupError(objects, interface, name) ConfigurationExecutionError: zope.component.interfaces.ComponentLookupError: ((<ATDocument at transient>, <ore.contentmirror.transform.SchemaTransformer object at 0xb6e028c>), <InterfaceClass ore.contentmirror.interfaces.IPeerFactory>, u'') in: File "/home/zope/share/Products/ProductsOTHERS/ContentMirror/eggs/ore.contentmirror-0.5.2b2-py2.4.egg/ore/contentmirror/content.zcml", line 3.4-3.80 <ore:mirror content="Products.ATContentTypes.content.document.ATDocument" /> I obviously did something wrong - but what ???

problem with ++resource++ on zope 2.9
by William Heymann 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

I have a product that is working fine on zope 2.12 but on 2.9 I can't get it to work. my configure.zcml is <configure xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope" xmlns:browser="http://namespaces.zope.org/browser" > <browser:resourceDirectory name="EditArea" directory="editarea_0_8_2/edit_area" /> </configure> On 2.12 myserver/++resource++EditArea/somefile.js returns the file just fine but on 2.9 I just get a NotFound error. The product is sitting in the Products dir of my instance and I know it is getting loaded on 2.9 because the product is showing up in the control panel and its __init__.py is getting run. Any ideas on how to make this work on 2.9? Mostly this is just for transition stuff but it would be very nice to get it to work.

Problem Building 2.10.x
by Susan Day 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hi; I'm trying to build 2.10.x on a CentOS 5.4 server. I get the error that I need to upgrade my Python from 2.4.3 to (I believe) 2.4.6. The problem is that I really can't do that using rpms unless I roll my own. Before doing that I wanted to consult you all and ask your advice. TIA, Susan PS Another option would be to build this on my Mac, but it doesn't look like Zope supports that platform.
