[Zope] Draft CatalogAware Howto and ZClass question

[Alexandre Ratti]

Hello,


I started putting together a Howto on creating a CatalogAware ZClass. I 
mainly cut and pasted information from this list.

The 1st draft can be viewed on 
<http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/CatalogAware/>. If you find inaccuracies 
or can offer additional information, please get in touch. This howto hasn't 
been submitted for cataloging yet.

The process described in this howto seems to work. New object instances are 
indexed correctly when created and updated. They are deindexed when deleted.

However, I run into the following error when trying to cut and paste an 
object instance.

Error Type: AttributeError
Error Value: REQUEST

Traceback (innermost last):

AttributeError: (see above)

The error occurs on this line in the Python module:
	if not relative: url.append(self.aq_acquire('REQUEST').script)

Something seems wrong in the absolute_url. Can anyone help?


Thanks.
