[Zope-dev] Sybase 11.9.2 with Zope 2.2.0

[Ralph Heinkel]

Hi, 

I'm trying to run Sybase 11.9.2 with Zope 2.2.0. using SybaseDA2.0b2 Everything
was fine with Zope 2.1.6 so far. But with this new version of Zope I get an
error like (having commented out the try/except clause to catch it - traceback
appended to this mail):

Error Type: AttributeError
             Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute 'server'

The error is raised because in the Sybase Adapter an attribute 'server' of
connection_string is accessed. 
Looking at the 2.1.6 code of Connection.py I found two new lines, which convert
connection_string into a real string. Commenting out these lines makes
everything work. But: IS THIS SAFE? connection_string is of type
ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.record before the str() conversion.

    manage_properties=HTMLFile('connectionEdit', globals())
    def manage_edit(self, title, connection_string, check=None, REQUEST=None):
        """Change connection
        """
#       title=str(title)                             <--- 'bad' lines
#       connection_string=str(connection_string)     <--- 'bad' lines
        self.edit(title, connection_string, check)
        if REQUEST is not None:

Any comments would be appreciated.
