[web2py] Validators for webservices?
Hi all I'm looking for a way to validate the record data I receive from a webservice. Because there is no form associated it seems that I cannot use SQLFORM and form.accepts(). Is there any other way to use the already defined validators to do the check? I'm searching for something like (untested): @service.jsonrpc def update(record): errors = validate(db.mytable, record) if errors: return dict(success=False, msg=', '.join(errors)) else: db(db.mytable.id == record.id).update(record) return dict(success=True) TIA - Marcel

Hi Massimo After upgrading to 1.94.5 it works perfectly. Thank you very much! Is there anywhere some documentation regarding request.restful() besides your video and the thread here on Google groups? Great stuff!

Hi Kevin
Thanks for your input!
This is a valuable solution. But I would still need to add all my
already existing validators to SQLFORM.factory. Wouldn't I?
Therefore I tried Massimo's solution first.
Best regards,
Marcel

[web2py] Re: odata
Just skimmed over it. Looks very powerful and promising.
If it's easy to implement with parse_as_rest it would be a great
feature for web2py!
There are still not many "consumers" (http://www.odata.org/consumers),
but nevertheless it'd be worth IMHO.
(Unfortunately no Python client library seems to exist.)

Despite a lot of time, I'd like to help as well. MongoDB looks promising.

[web2py] "extra" arguments for Table and Field
Hello. I'm trying to implement common grid operations (with Ext JS, GridPanel) for all tables in my app. Now I would need some extra info on table and field levels as hints, ex. default sort order of a table, column width of a field. The easiest way would be to have a "extra" argument in gluon.dal.Table and gluon.dal.Field in which I could store all the associated info. Otherwise I have to store it in separate place, not directly related to the tables & fields. What do you think about this? Good or not necessary? Thanks for your feedback! Regards, Marcel

Wow! Great!
And many thanks for the superfast reply!

[web2py] Re: A requested feature...
Not exactly a deployment solution - but TurnKey Linux (http:// www.turnkeylinux.org/) would be a good foundation for Amazon EC2. There's already a "TKLPatch for web2py framework" (http:// www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/general/20110107/tklpatch-web2py-framework) which Massimo created (http://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/general/ 20100217/web2py-appliance) but unfortunately there is still no web2py virtual appliance in the library. I didn't find the time to test TKL but this seems a great way to setup and operate web2py servers in the cloud: https://hub.turnkeylinux.org/ Marcel
[web2py] Re: A requested feature...
As far as I understand their "hub" is only a front-end to Amazon's EC2: "Deploy in seconds 45+ free server apps to Amazon EC2". And it's free as well. From their web site: - Your TurnKey Hub account is free - Pay Amazon directly for the cloud resources you use - No setup, cancellation or monthly fees - No risk, no commitments You're right. LAMP/LAPP gives a fast start and with the "web2py build notes" on http://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/general/20110107/tklpatch-web2py-framework installation should be easy. I'll try it as well asap.

[web2py] Problem starting cron job

I'm trying to start a cron job, which fails: 2011-05-24 10:40:00,517 - web2py.cron - WARNING - WEB2PY CRON Call returned code 1: web2py Enterprise Web Framework Created by Massimo Di Pierro, Copyright 2007-2011 Version 1.95.1 (2011-04-25 15:04:14) Database drivers available: SQLite3, pymysql, Oracle Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/ecc/web2py/web2py.py", line 19, in gluon.widget.start(cron=True) File "/opt/ecc/web2py/gluon/widget.py", line 804, in start import_models=options.import_models, startfile=options.run) File "/opt/ecc/web2py/gluon/shell.py", line 203, in run execfile(startfile, _env) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'applications/ecc/cron/ ecc_importer.py' This is my contab entry: 0-59/5 ****eswsys *applications/ecc/ cron/ecc_importer.py With a logger.warning call and os.getcwd() just before the execfile I get: 2011-05-24 10:40:00,468 - web2py - WARNING - EXECFILE: applications/ ecc/cron/ecc_importer.py, working dir: /opt/ecc/web2py The curent working directory seems to be ok and ecc_importer.py is in the right place with 755 rights.

Do I have to use PYTHONSTARTUP somehow? TIA -.- Marcel
[web2py] Re: Problem starting cron job
This is so embarrassing...! Sorry for the last post - I found the problem: I changed the name of the script slighly before the deployment to the server. Now it works perfectly. ;-) Have a nice day.

[web2py] How do you document your apps?
Hello! I just finished an internal project using web2py (1.95.1) and have to document it for my colleagues. Preferably it is a system based of doc strings. Maybe Sphinx? Question: What are you using? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your input! Best regards, Marcel
[web2py] Re: How do you document your apps?
Hello everybody Thank you very much for your answers! I think I'll try a combination of plugin_wiki with epydoc. Have a nice day!
