I'm guessing this is what I just ran into and the answer is your new function names and symbols will be interned in :CL-USER :) I'd love to know how to change that, but haven't bothered to dig yet. (in my case, :CL-USER would be my second choice after one of my own packages)
In my case, I had code that uses the multi-method dispatch mechanism to display the right page (I'm not yet sure if thats a good idea :) something like this:
(defmethod display-page (page-name (eql 'login-page)) ... )
To convert the text strings given by the user into the right symbol (so this dispatch mecnhanism can work), I must intern them in the :CL-USER package.
This did take me a while to figure out and *I* couldn't find it in the documentation anywhere. (I guess, maybe, it should have been obvious, but I still consider myself mostly a Lisp newbie). I believe my CMUCL Lisp starts with a core file causing it to start in :Jims-PackageA, then I've been loading a file (that causes TBNL and all that good stuff to be loaded) and immediately switching to :Jims-PackageB, so it was really confusing to be using the :CL-USER package at all. :)
I hope this helps, Jim

In TBNL some functions are created to handle incoming requests.
Functions are created? You're talking about your own handlers or something else?
What package are they executed in? I.e. what package *PACKAGE* is bound to? How can I control it?
In your own functions you can rebind *PACKAGE* to your liking.
(let ((*package* (my-function))) ;; do something )
For existing TBNL functions the package shouldn't matter with the exception of READ-FROM-STRING* the behaviour of which is documented:

Does that answer your question or am I misunderstanding? _______________________________________________ tbnl-devel site list tbnl-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/tbnl-devel
