Dear all, I need a sort of post-publishing hook (so to say). I need Zope to call a function of mine as the very last action of publishing a request, i.e. after having built the response (and sent it to the browser possibly), but before starting publishing a new request. My Zope server is running as a single-threaded app. Does Zope support this any way?
There is a way, but I find it somewhat ugly/hackish. But Shane uses it in CookieCrumbler, so it must be good ;) You can pass an instance to REQUEST._hold, which should be deleted when REQUEST gets deleted, so at the complete end of the request. This means you can pass an instance to a class that defines a __del__ method, where you can do your work. You'll be working outside the REQUEST transaction at that moment, so please keep that in mind when modifying objects. Cheers Ivo -- Drs.
