Hi, I like webware, and I've used it for a small project or two. I have a quick question: Has anyone thought about using a Java/WAR like archive for Webware deployments? This would be really nice. For those who don't know, a WAR file is a Web ARchive. Essentially, it is like a Java JAR file... a zip of a bunch of class files. However a WAR has a couple of extra directories and an XML file describing the context. When you run a Tomcat or something like that, all you have to do to deploy your app is put the WAR file in the proper directory. This also makes things easy for hosting providers and deployment at large sites. dru |

I've now stepped my sites from OneShot.cgi to WebKit.cgi to wkcgi with no real issues, and it's getting better each time. Thanks for this great hint, Ian! -- - Tim Roberts, ti...@pr...

We can wait for Python 2.3 which would support zip imports. -- Bst rgrds, M.A.X.: Mechanical Artificial Xenomorph. |

I've been trying to make a working directory into a distributable application. Which it really is -- the only real problem at this point is figuring out where Webware is installed, otherwise it could be pretty drop-in. Well, the other real problem is dealing with links -- relative links work fine, but it's hard to create absolute links if you take into account mod_rewrite and other stuff -- sorting out the semantics of the various parts of the URL is a mess. As far as descriptions, that's a pending issue for Python in general. I'd imagine we'd want to use the same descriptions and repositories that everyone else uses. It might even be cool if the working directory could be set up with distutils, but I'm not even sure what that would mean (as an application and not a library).
