[web2py] Sharing a database between apps

I was wondering if its possible to share a database between apps. I have two apps. One is a background process that discovers devices on the network using bonjour and adds them to the database. The other app provides a web interface to view these discovered devices. How do I share the same databas

[web2py] JSONP in web2py

I know this has been discussed earlier, but I am not sure how to use JSONP for cross domain communication correctly. This is how I make the request: var jqxhr = $.getJSON('get_devices.jsonp', function(data) { displayList(data); }) .error(function() { alert("

[web2py] Design Issue

I am trying to create a web app that allows you to control various devices simultaneously. The simplified design is as follows: - One main background process continuously polls a database table for any device control requests - Once it sees a request, it spawns two threads: send and

The design is discussed here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py/R8N2CRP-ifY I was hoping to get some feedback on that but never got any :(

Seriously, no one?

[web2py] Re: Design Issue

Oh, I see your point. Letting the main thread do all the db interaction makes perfect sense. Also, I'll use the queue model for interaction between the main thread and the send/receive threads. Thanks Massimo - you're a good man.

[web2py] AJAX weirdness

Following is the code that makes the ajax call: $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: '/devicemanager/default/get_response.json/192.168.1.24/107', success: display_received, }); display_received displays the received information. The controller simply does the following: de

[web2py] Re: AJAX weirdness

Wouldn't this only be a problem if I was actually making a cross-domain call? The remote machines are on the same local area network as the server.

I'm at home right now, but I'll try that at work tomorrow. Thanks.

Re: [web2py] AJAX weirdness

Thanks to rochacbruno and Anthony, I was able to solve this problem. All I did was include the line response.generic_patters=[*] in db.py.

Re: [web2py] AJAX weirdness

Before we close this thead, I am curious as to why/how is this a security risk?

Re: [web2py] AJAX weirdness

Makes sense. Thanks.

[web2py] Hardware Requirements for Deployment

I've been asked by my colleagues to enumerate all hardware requirements for deploying a server running web2py. My question is, how do I even begin to calculate the requirements for the architecture, storage space, memory, etc.? For architecture, am I basically stuck with x86? For storage, is the

[web2py] Cannot access db in a thread

I have a separate process that I run along with my web application by creating a subprocess like so: subprocess.Popen("python web2py.py -v -e -a admin -i 0.0.0.0 -p 8080 -c -k ".split()) subprocess.Popen("python web2py.py -S -M -R ".split()) In that process, I start a thread to do
