[Zope-dev] Subclassing SimpleItem and overriding __allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__

22 May 2001

      I am trying to acquire the functionality of SimpleItem and the
new Zope 2.2+ security model (methods are private by default) in 
a single class. Thus I subclass SimpleItem and override
__allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__ as follows:

class subclass(SimpleItem):

        __allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__=None

        __ac_permissions__=(
                ('View', ['index_html'], ('Anonymous',)))

        private = HTMLFile('filename', globals())

        .
        .
        .

I would expect that the 'private' method would no longer be viewable
via the web.  But it is.

Am I missing the obvious here?
