    Wrapper module to interface between Zope and the Python SAX XML library. 
The xml.sax.parse() calls different routines depending on what it finds. 

A simple example of a valid XML file can be found in the objects.xml file 
for a ZenPack.

Convert all attributes to string values

source code

startElement(self, name, attrs)
Function called when the parser finds the starting element in the XML file.

source code

endElement(self, name)
Function called when the parser finds the starting element in the XML file.

source code

characters(self, chars)
Called by xml.sax.parse() with data found in an element eg <object>my characters stuff</object>

source code

object

createObject(self, attrs)
Create an object and set it into its container

source code

setProperty(self, obj, attrs, value)
Set the value of a property on an object.

source code

addLink(self, rel, objid)

source code

buildOptions(self)
Command-line options specific to this command

source code

loadObjectFromXML(self, xmlfile='')
This method can be used to load data for the root of Zenoss (default behavior) or it can be used to operate on a specific point in the Zenoss hierarchy (ZODB).

source code

loadDatabase(self)
The default behavior of loadObjectFromXML() will be to use the Zope app object, and thus operatate on the whole of Zenoss.

source code

commit(self)
Wrapper around the Zope database commit()

Command-line options specific to this command

Overrides: ZenUtils.ZCmdBase.ZCmdBase.buildOptions

loadObjectFromXML(self, xmlfile='')

source code

This method can be used to load data for the root of Zenoss (default behavior) or it can be used to operate on a specific point in the Zenoss hierarchy (ZODB).

Upon loading the XML file to be processed, the content of the XML file is handled by the methods in this class when called by xml.sax.parse().

Reads from a file if xmlfile is specified, otherwise reads from the command-line option --infile. If no files are found from any of these places, read from standard input.

Parameters:

xmlfile (string or file-like object) - Name of XML file to load, or file-like object
