Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Service Contract: Restart server required

Collapse
Posted by Lars Pind on
We looked extensively into making it possible to create new bindings without restarting the server, and it turned out to be really hard. Basically, you have to make sure you create the magic internal proc in all interpreters, which is tricky. Not impossible, just tricky.

It was part of our efforts about a year ago to let you install packages without requiring a restart afterwards, but mimicking what happens during server startup when we're not during server startup anymore is just a tad complicated and error-prone.

So instead: Document it. Include a notice in the UI, and a link to restart the server right away ...
