From Michael Haubenwallner firstly: try it with a script as mediator... I know that works; this is not a problem. I'm more interested in the general case of how one calls Zope methods via rpc, or even via http. I can achieve what I need to (and have done) by using the manage_ methods that are invoked by ZMI, but that's really pretty ugly, since one has to parse the HTML response to determine success or failure.
If I have to add wrappers for every method I want to call, I end up doing a lot of Zope programming just to make it easy for me to drive it via http or xmlrpc calls, and I'd hoped to avoid that by using Zope. I mean, even an ASP or PHP website can have specific scripts added to manage it... :) regards ben ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
