Re: Managing Connections with SQL Methods

The problem seemed to be that Zope.app() was returning a new root object 
instance every time a new DAO (data access object) was initialized. 
After 3, boom.

The work around is to pass the context of the calling object with syntax 
like __of__(self) when you call methods of the DAO.  You can also pass 
in a reference to the calling object in the method call dao = 
getDAO(self,....).  Then the method on the DAO you can use

setattr(self, CONNECTION_NAME, getattr(context,CONNECTION_NAME))

Where CONNECTION_NAME is a string with the same name as the Z SQL 
Connection object that the calling object acquired.
