I am trying to parse xml with libxml2. I have DTML Docs in a Zcatalog that are xml formatted. I am trying to use a python script to display the xmls using the xpath function of libxml2. The problem I am having is that in the Results method I have this.
<dtml-var expr="parseXML(legal=getobject(data_record_id_))">
the problem is that when the content of this variable gets sent to my parseXML python script all the xml tags get replaced with the html encoded versions of the tags ( ie. < and > get replaced with < and > ) I'm not calling the html_quote function so I don't understand why it is replacing the tags.
It's a bit confusing... A DTMLDocument is a template, how do you catalog it? If it's static, you could use a File object by example. Else, you are cataloging a *rendered* version of the template, but how do you restore it without having the original arguments? ZCatalog just stores a path or id. Anyway, getobject() returns the cataloged object, your DTMLDocument, not a string. You surely are converting it to string somehow, maybe by calling it or by using str(). Try using read() or document_src() instead, maybe this is what you are looking for.
Thanks for your reply. It looks like the document_src() method is exactly what I was looking for. I had found another way of doing this but I don't think it was very clean. What I did was created a external python script and used getpath() method for the Zcatalog DTMLDocument. Then using urllib I grabbed the DTMLDocument directly and read it line for line into a string then parsed it. Like I said, not very clean at all.
