[Zope-dev] Storing lots of big objects in containers

[Morten W. Petersen]

[Erik Enge]

| Can't you just subclass the BTree Folder as you would with OFS.Folder?
| 
| I think you might be confusing the Zope BTree implementation with the
| BTree Folder Product?

I've tried subclassing BTreeFolder, but then, whenever the object is
accessed, zope falls flat on its face.  :-\

Tried again, now this error is raised:


"""
 Zope Error

Sorry, a Zope error occurred.
