[Zope3-dev] Zope.App.ZopePublication

[Stephan Richter]

Hello Jim,

I ran into some major issues implementing XML-RPC. While I got the basic 
XML-RPC transfer working (yipee), all the code in ZopePublication is 
Browser-specific(as in View Type). I will therefore refactor the entire 
module.

Also, in XML-RPC I have no way to say: 
...../contentObject/ViewName;view/method, since I have no possibility to 
use ';view' in the dot-notation. So what I decided to do is that I only 
allow for one XML-RPC view per content object, and the traverser looks it 
up like follows:

1. get name
2. is there a subobject with that name
3. if yes, get it; if no, get the view (there is only one) and find the method

Another possibility would be to have some sort of view marker, like 
..../contentObject/ViewName_VIEW/method, which I think is not very elegant; 
even ..../contentObject/VIEW/ViewName/method is not that good, since it 
would look too strange for a non-Zope user to use.

I am going to play around some more and try to get the first design working...

Regards,
Stephan
