Thanks. I understand. The only "messy" solution I have thusfar is something like this: ...at bottom of module in product... def installConnections(): def install(): #1) get zope app object #2) loop through zope objects and create connections manually ... thread.start_new(install, ()) ThreadedAsync.register_loop_callback(installConnections)

Hi Herman,

Hi
My problem is that the client connection must be started as soon as Zope starts up. Ie, the attribute must be initialized prior to accessing it from within the Zope context. As soon as Zope starts, my client connection must be made, so that the remote server via a persistent connection to the client, can invoke callback methods when an event occurs on the server's side. So, the connection attribute is rarely ever called from within the same "process". Is'nt there a "startup" event for Zope(event indication all modules are finished loaded)?
This is not possible this way. Either you change your server to "plant" a method on it which calls via HTTP (for example XMLRPC) zope when the event occurs or you have to create a separate thread which lives outside the ZODB-Connection (somewhat like Zopes FTP server)
Persistent connections from within a published request are impossible. (And make no sense either)
Regards Tino
Thanks again.
Herman

Thanks Tino!
I understand that I need to initialize a _v_ attribute each time I
create my
client connection, seeing that it cannot be stored in the ZODB. My
problem
is that I need a way to initiate that attribute at Zope's startup. Lets
say
that there are certain ZOPE objects in the hierarchy of ZOPE. I need to initialize all these objects _v_clientConnection attributes at Zope's startup. Does anybody know of a way?
I have not followed the thread, so I may be missing something, but I think that Tino's answer is right. You may achieve this defining a getter method, something like:
def get_client_connection(self) : if not hasattr(self, "_v_clientConnection") : self._v_clientConnection = xxxxx return sef._v_clientConnection
if you access this attribute through the method, and never directly, you'll always get a "valid" client connection.
