--4IHd11iKLCbo7rrJhmN5Z83IS1Ln5ygajBWyOx2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Thorsten, 1) please add the source code for http://myObj_url/FS_home.xml Is it a more python script or DTML method? 2) Explain your need for using http_import()! Did you often used this metho= d before? Try to explain why it is not possible with plain DTML tags. Look = at the sample code below onChangeObjEvt() explained:=20 http://www.zms-publishing.com/dokumentation/literatur/professional_manual/a= pi_tricks/onchangeobjevt/index_ger.html 3) Switch to a simple call of whatever FS_Home.xml is and pass parameters a= ppropriately. This should be possible because FS_Home.xml and onChangeObjEv= t() are in the scope of the same special object definition. Right? 4)What about implementing onChangeObjEvt() in python?=20 See you later!

I enabled verbose-security and the python security implementation and wrote a small python script that should call a common ObjectManager method that REQUIRES the user to have a special permission 'import_export_objects'. Before running this sample you need to edit error_log in Zope Root Folder, remove 'Unauthorized' from 'ignored exception types' and enable 'Copy exceptions to the event log'. Usually this permission is assigned to role Manager. When running this script as anonymous user with a valid id pointing to an item in this folder the security policy is raising the exception below.<br> > > <br> > > -> export.py - in line number 8<br> > > context.manage_exportObject(id=id, download=True)<br> > > <br> > > -> OFS.ObjectManager.py<br> > > <br> > > security.declareProtected(import_export_objects, 'manage_exportObject')<br> > > def manage_exportObject(self, id='', download=None, toxml=None, <br> > > RESPONSE=None,REQUEST=None):<br> > > """Exports an object to a file and returns that file."""<br> > > <br> > > -> event.log<br> > > <br> > > 2012-04-18 14:24:29 ERROR Zope.SiteErrorLog 1334751869.040.833954688385 <a href="http://localhost:8080/sites/export">http://localhost:8080/sites/export</a><br> > > Traceback (innermost last):<br> > > Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 126, in publish<br> > > Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 77, in mapply<br> > > Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 46, in call_object<br> > > Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 322, in __call__<br> > > Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 359, in _bindAndExec<br> > > Module Products.PythonScripts.PythonScript, line 344, in _exec<br> > > Module script, line 8, in export<br> > > - <PythonScript at /sites/export><br> > > - Line 8<br> > > Module AccessControl.ImplPython, line 716, in guarded_getattr<br> > > Module AccessControl.ImplPython, line 658, in aq_validate<br> > > Module AccessControl.ImplPython, line 552, in validate<br> > > Module AccessControl.ImplPython, line 450, in validate<br> > > Module AccessControl.ImplPython, line 797, in raiseVerbose<br> > > Unauthorized: Your user account does not have the required permission.
