I've just had a small problem which may be related - if you think it
is, it would be good to know.  After having set the user
programmatically, I try to add some content using invokeFactory.  This
ends up trying to index the object, and is choking at the point where
it tries to add the Creator() value to the indices.

Creator() calls Owner.getOwner(), which gets the nearest _owner
attribute via acquisition.  Part of the _owner attribute is a path, in
this case to the MemberDataTool.  And this is where the problem lies,
since the MemberDataTool doesn't provide the getUserById() method
which Owned.getUser() expects to find.

I can fix this easily enough in DublinCore, but I was wondering where
this error came from.  I've only seen this problem where I use my
local user context fix.  Could they be somehow related, or is it a
bug in the Creator() implementation?

thanks for the comments,
