Ok, now I've done it -;^>= The weapons: python (2.1.1) xmlrpclib (0.9.9) zope (2.5.0) ParsedXML (1.2.1) First issue: I also have the dreaded message: "objectIds has no docstring. Patch your ObjectManager.py so that objectIds has a docstring and restart Zope" It would be kewl if someone had some more information than this vague, Redmondish message. Second issue:

From python using xmlrpclib, I can call DTML Documents/Methods that do not reference directories. But if I include something like:

<a href="&dtml.url-directory;">directory</a> Then Zope fails to fetch index_html from directory. ? Is this in my installation, a bug with Zope's xmlrpc implementation, or what? I would think that my dtml.url stuff is pretty generic and common... Third issue: I have a folder "xml", and in that folder is a Parsed XML Document "faq". I can successfully see the contents with the URLs like: http://localhost:8080/xml/faq/0/1 But from python and xmlrpclib to access Zope (already tested with simple stuff like "index_html"), I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.1/xmlrpclib.py", line 660, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.1/xmlrpclib.py", line 809, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "/usr/lib/python2.1/xmlrpclib.py", line 692, in request return self.parse_response(h.getfile()) File "/usr/lib/python2.1/xmlrpclib.py", line 731, in parse_response return u.close() File "/usr/lib/python2.1/xmlrpclib.py", line 439, in close raise apply(Fault, (), self._stack[0]) xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault -1: 'Unexpected Zope exception: cannot marshal <extension class Acquisition.ImplicitAcquirerWrapper at 402f1f00> objects'> So who's "Fault" is it, and how can I get on with my life using xml-rpc? The only HOWTO I can find is from January 2000! -- Mitch Pirtle Corporate Security Officer Kühne & Nagel Management AG Tel: +41 1 786 96 45 Fax: +41 1 786 95 95
