Download and use ParsedXML product (v. 1.3+), which created persistent DOM documents; use standard DOM API to access, traverse, read, and write data from these documents. This will require that you have the PyXML package installed for the version of python you are using to run Zope in your linux distro (http://pyxml.sf.net). Note: PyXML is used to provide the pyexpat parser interface to the expat parser, included. You might also be able to parse your document without storing it in Zope without even using ParsedXML (it sounds like this is what you want to do?). If this is what you are looking to do, use the PyDOM dom implementation that comes with PyXML, and write a parsing script in a Python module; then write an external method that uses that module. This should be pretty easy. Get a copy of the book Python & XML by Jones and Drake (O'Reilly, 2002). Also, there is a Parsed-XML-Dev mailing list and a zope-xml list, both on zope.org.

Whoa .. ok. I was under the impression that Zope had built-in support for XML. If that's the case then I'll just send the data in CSV format. We have too many servers that will be pulling these reports and I want to keep the installed products down to a minimum. Thanks for your help!

I wrote an XML parser in Python that I've been using with good results. It has public methods for locating nodes by tag, retrieving content by tag, printing a tree of the DOM structure, and getting child/parent/sibling nodes of any node. Since I'm mostly using it to handle SOAP web services, there is also a simple way of getting the name of the method invoked by the SOAP call. Copy it to your Extensions folder; then it's just a matter of creating an External Method to get the DOM object. From there, the code is pretty simple. Here's an example: lcXML = context.REQUEST['BODY'] loXML = context.xmlDOM(lcXML) lcMethod = loXML.getSOAPMethodName() lcLastName = loXML.contentByTag("lastname") ...etc. You can download xmlDOM.py from my website: http://leafe.com/dls?dlSection=other Please let me know if you have any problems or questions. ___/ / __/ / ____/ Ed Leafe http://leafe.com/ http://opentech.leafe.com
Are you generating XML? Then if so the easiest way would be to use Zope Page Templates, there is no reason a zpt can't generate non xhtml xml ... at least AFAIK. On Thu, 2003-03-06 at 15:17, D. Rick Anderson wrote:
