(pos sible solution)

Well, I'm not suprised to find out that it was something I was doing wrong. However, the symptons still sound fairly similar and I wouldn't be suprised it someone his site is doing something similar. Also, I tried : x = Zope.app() x.close()

And it complains that x has no attribute close.

I talked more to Jim about this and we decided that it is a bad idea to open another connection in an external method. The reason is because when you're in an external method, you are allready bound to an object that has a connection, opening another and mixing changes between the wo connections is probably a bad idea. To get the *top level* root object in Zope, unwraped (no acquisition), do: self._p_jar.root()['Application'] The wraped object can come from PARENTS[-1] or you can walk up self._aq_parent. -Michel
