Ah, now then. You've hit some of the problems of XML-RPC here. There is no way to pass named params with XML-RPC. XMLRPC also can't handle 'None' or NIL or anything that means undefined. You could try and work around this by using a dictionary of params rather than simple params. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gilles Lenfant" <glenfant@bigfoot.com> To: "Phil Harris" <phil.harris@zope.co.uk> Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 12:52 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Can't get "objectIds()" (and others) from XML-RPC

Many thanks Phil ! It worked at first attempt !

Hmmm. additional question for this kind of workaround : I need support for optional arguments in a Zope python script, just like this in "natural python"

def stuff(param=None): if param: # do it with provided param else: # provide default param param = []

I've tried to put "param=None" in the parameter list of the zope management screen but it seems that it remains like "None" when I provide data for the "param"...

This is just for using "objectIds()" and "objectIds('DTML Method')" with the same Zope python script "myObjectIds"

TIA again

Gilles

Yes, you did!

The objectIds are no longer callable via a URL, they can only be called from DTML or Python (internal and external).

This means that you can't call it via XML-RPC.

Don't lose hope though, here's how to get around this limitation.

Create an Internal Python Script in the root of Zope, with these contents:

return context.objectItems()

This will return the list and all will be well.

You should though have some security on this method, otherwise *everybody* will see the contents on your Zope instance.

Thanks in advance for any hint.
