hi,
i'm currently reading through the "A Technical Introduction to Object Publishing with Zope". included in this interesting read is an example ads.py.
when i execute ads.py via the shell i get no complaints however when i try to add ads.py as an external method in zope with the following paramaters
The problem is that adds is not an external method. It is a module which creates a publishable object. It was never meant to be used with the Zope management framework. External methods don't in general lend themselves to plugging publishable objects into the Zope hierarchy. To find out more read the External Method documentation: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Reference/ExternalMethods You have a couple options. If you want to plug the ad generator into the Zope object hierarchy, proceed along the lines of the 'PlayHouse' example in the External Method documentation. If you just want to publish the ad generator, use ZopeHTTPServer like so: ZopeHTTPServer ads.py Which will publish the ads.py module with ZPublisher. Good luck. -Amos
