[Grok-dev] Custom Exception Views and application_url

[Lacko Roman]

Hi,

First of all, thank you Grok and ZOPE developers for a wonderfull web framework.

I am finishing my first web project with Grok.
But i have one problem with customized exception views.
I created a custom view "Unauthorized" for exception "IUnauthorized":

class Unauthorized(grok.View):
    grok.context(IUnauthorized)
    grok.name('index.html')

    def update(self):
        ...

For that view I created template, in that template I use something like that (please note "${view/application_url}"):

  <a i18n:translate="" tal:attributes="href string:${view/application_url}/offers?offertype=sale&realtytype=apartment">sale</a>

When I try to browse grok administrator at url http://localhost:8080 to create application instance, the following page is rendered in browser:

>>>

<class 'zope.security.interfaces.Unauthorized'>
A server error occurred.

<<<

And following exception is thrown, (copy-paste from console output):

>>>
  2008-03-31T14:11:39 ERROR SiteError Exception while rendering view on exception

    raise ValueError("No application found.")
ValueError: No application found.
<<<

As I understand, the exception of type "IUnauthorized" is thrown. Then my custom view for that exception is evaluated and failed on path expression: ${view/application_url}/offers?offertype=sale&realtytype=apartment. I discovered that exception with value "ValueError: No application found." is rased in function application_url(). I understand that there is no application created, but I can not create one, if I can not login to Grok administrator. I understand that this is because my custom exception view somehow replaced default view that popups login form.

Please can someone tell me how to properly use custom exception views ?

Thank in advance for any help,
Roman Lacko
