RE: [Webware-discuss] Stopping servlet processing and redirecting client

[Geoffrey T. <gta...@na...>]

You could write your own abort() method.  This is completely untested, but
you could try something like this.  Add this code to your SitePage class:


class AbortTransaction(Exception): pass

class SitePage(Page):
	...
	def abort(self):
		raise AbortTransaction

	def _respond(self):
		try:
			Page._respond(self)
		except AbortTransaction:
			pass
