ZSI Notes
Some Notes from Pywebsvcs-talk@lists.sourceforge.net List
My scrapbook of notes and extracts from the Pywebsvcs mailing list...
alphabetical order of 'self.attribute_typecode_dict'
This should be irrelevant, although order is important for canonicalization for an entirely different matter.
I think you could retain your ordering by replacing the underlying dict with your own dict subclass that maintains a list too.
Topic._attrs = OrderDict()
Something like Collection, although obviously this is a bit old.
from ZSI.wstools.Utility import Collection
class Collection(UserDict):
"""Helper class for maintaining ordered named collections."""
default = lambda self,k: k.name
def __init__(self, parent, key=None):
UserDict.__init__(self)
self.parent = weakref.ref(parent)
self.list = []
self._func = key or self.default
def __getitem__(self, key):
if type(key) is type(1):
return self.list[key]
return self.data[key]
def __setitem__(self, key, item):
item.parent = weakref.ref(self)
self.list.append(item)
self.data[key] = item
def keys(self):
return map(lambda i: self._func(i), self.list)
def items(self):
return map(lambda i: (self._func(i), i), self.list)
def values(self):
return self.list
Newbie Stuff
Upgrade to ZSI-2.1a and this package is no longer required.

http persistent connection
I think you can do this by using your own transport.
Here is the relevant code from client.py:
self.h = transport(netloc, None, **self.transdict)
self.h.connect()
self.SendSOAPData(soapdata, url, soapaction, **kw)
So basically you'd need something like a Singleton that delegates to
actual transports, so you can maintain these instances between soap
calls and reuse the same transport when appropriate.
But I'm not sure about the rest, you'll need a transport that
implements HTTP persistent connections. Maybe twisted is a better bet
than the python httplib.

ServiceProxy
> server = ServiceProxy(w, pyclass=True, tracefile=sys.stdout) ZSI 2.0.0 as a whole supports complex type, but there's a serious bug in ServiceProxy in 2.0.0 which prevents using it with asdict=False (ServiceProxy in 2.0.0 doesn't have the pyclass keyword) [1]. I suggest upgrading to 2.1a1 where the broken part of ServiceProxy has been rewritten and now works. [1] Specifically ServiceProxy._call always passes args or kwargs through to binding.Send regardless of what asdict is set to, so that with complex types calls to proxy methods complain that binding.Send is getting tuples (i.e. args) or dicts (i.e. kwargs) instead of the expected complex types.
ZSI Thread Safe?
I don't think so but threads in python are restricted by the GIL so all state is shared between threads. So if you're changing an objects state all threads will "instantly" see it. This is up to you to manage. -josh On May 14, 2008, at 12:56 AM, Esteban wrote: > After some testing, I confirmed that I cannot share the same > ServicePort on different clients as it is not thread safe (I expected > this result actually...) > > Using a different one for each client seems to work.

I have dowloaded/installed the following with no errors:
Python 2.6
ZSI-2.0

I am running on a PC.
When running the following python code (from ZSI users guide) I get the
following errors.

ZSI will probably have to be updated to reflect this -- perhaps it already has been? I would try ZSI 2.1a1 and then ask again if the problem persists there
wsdl2py
Hi,
I'm having an issue with a type I have defined for my response in my wsdl.
One of the elements in my response is an xsd:list, which is just a list of strings seperated by space.
Here is the definition of the element:
<xsd:element name="linkedapplications" type="tnsb:linkedApplicationsList"/>
<xsd:simpleType name="linkedApplicationsList">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation></xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:list>
<xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"></xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:list>
</xsd:simpleType>
I then run:
wsdl2py -b file.wsdl
And it auto generates my stubs.
Then testing the service it works fine if the <linkedapplications> element is empty.
But if it contains any values, such as <linkedapplications>value1</linkedapplications> or <linkedapplications>value1 value2</linkedapplications>
It throws the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
resp = port.registerUserOrAddToGroup(req)
File "generatedServices_client.py", line 41, in registerUserOrAddToGroup

v.append(self.itemTypeCode.text_to_data(item, elt, ps))
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text_to_data'
Is the definition of xsd:list allowed to by empty or do I have to specify enumerations?
I have seen examples that allow non enumerated xsd:list types.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Jaie
