[Zope] XMLRPC accessing Zope DTML/SQL methods

[Mayers, Philip J]

<sigh>

Getting there. Note to the wise - when using PCGI and Apache, sometimes Zope
won't notice that you've edited an internal method source file... The cache
in Data.fs gets out-of-date.

Ok. So, I have this working:

def callSQLmethod(self, REQUEST):

        s=self.sqlMethod(self, REQUEST)
        y = []
        for x in s:
                y.append(x)
        return str(y)


Called over XMLRPC, this gives me:

[<r instance at 853ee30>, <r instance at 84f2810>, <r instance at 84f29f0>,
<r instance at 84b1528>]

Fine, I can extract the result data later... How can I pass paramters to the
method without overwriting the REQUEST value - I need access to that, so I
can get environment variables, namely the SSL certificate subject name.

Regards,
Phil

Ok, so this works:

def extmethod(self, REQUEST):
	return str(REQUEST)

From the web that prints the string Representation of REQUEST. But, over
XMLRPC, this:

s=xmlrpblib.Server("http://server.name/Zope/path/")
s.path.extmethod()

Returns the string representation of REQUEST, but *this*

s.path.extmethod('rrr')

return 'rrr'. What's happening?

Phil
