[Zope] SOAPMethod

Tue Sep 4 04:48:55 EDT 2007

Hi Tom

to be honest i would much rather use DTML as i understand this but it doesn't 
seem to work it only returns the result of the SOAP query when i view the 
source code. The SOAPMethod product recommends DTML but I have followed the 
example they give and this is what is happening.
