[Zope-dev] Using views for exceptions in Zope 2.12?

8 May 2009

      Hi All,

Given that the source of bug #372632 appears to be code related to 
allowing views on exceptions in Zope 2, I thought I'd try use this method.

I tried this, without much joy:

   <browser:defaultView
       for="exceptions.Exception"
       name="error"
       />
   <browser:page
       for="exceptions.Exception"
       template="html/error.html"
       name="error"
       permission="zope2.Public"
       />

So, how should I be wiring in views for exceptions?

Also, is there a base view class for exceptions anywhere that provides 
the following or their equivalents?

                 kwargs = {'error_type': error_name,
                           'error_value': error_value,
                           'error_tb': error_tb,
                           'error_traceback': error_tb,
                           'error_message': error_message,
                           'error_log_url': error_log_url}

Finally, when a view is used to render and exception, is the userthe 
current logged in user (as is the case with standard_error_message) or 
Anonymous (as has annoyingly been the case with Unauthorized exceptions 
in the past)

cheers,

Chris
