[GNUe-dev] Recent changes in Appserver

[Johannes Vetter]

Hi,

As you might have noticed I've commited some changes to appserver and
it's db-driver. Appserver now uses the object oriented RPC interface
instead of the old, flat one. This breaks RPC client code which is *not*
using GNUe's RPC drivers (xmlrpc or pyro). Otherwise this should only
affect appserver's internals.

If one is using his own RPC client code (driver) here is a brief
description of the changes. The RPC interface now only has two
functions: open () and getFilters (). 

open () returns a 'Session object' which provides the following
functions: login, logout, commit, rollback, request, load, store,
delete, call, close.

The function "request ()" returns a list-object providing the following
functions: count, fetch and close

No other function-results are changed.

Aside from that RPC stuff, this version of application server also
removed mx.DateTime from it's classes replacing it by python's builtin
"datetime" library. So all date-, time- or datetime-properties are
returned as datetime.date, datetime.time or datetime.datetime-values.
The main effect of this change will be visible within procedure code
using such date or time values. You'll have to change that code (in
GCD's). If you have written applications using AppServer's
language-interface the same changes will be necessary there.


Thanks,

Johannes
