[Zope] xmlrpc and zope objects

[Derek Basch]

Thank you for the reply Julián_Muñoz,

I meant to say DTML Document in my first posting. I
have since fixed this problem and it seems to work
now. 

However, I am having a very hard time figuring out how
to use the Zope API functions via the xmlrpclib
module. There is very little documentation and fewer
examples. I have managed to make a few API functions
work though most still return errors. I have read in
various white papers that most of the API should work
via xml-rpc.

Does anyone have some examples they could share?

Has anyone else ran into these issues?

Here is a code snippet that works for me:

import xmlrpclib
s=xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost:8080/',xmlrpclib.BasicAuthTransport('administrator','zopeisfun'))
print s

id ='testfolder'
title = 'testfoldertitle'
s.manage_addFolder(id, title)

are their any alternative/better ways of doing this?

Thanks,
Derek Basch
