I'm developing, in python, some classes whose instances to be published by Zope, one of which is folder-like, i.e. is can contain instances. I want HTTP PUT requests which will create new object instances within instances of this folder-like class to be handled by a PUT function I define. I cannot identify the "right" way to do this, or at least a way which doesn't involve hacking the standard Zope code to have my PUT function handle the operation. The normal behaviour of Zope appears to be to create an instance of the NullResource class and call the PUT function on that. This then proceeds to create a DTMLDocument, Image or File instance which is not what I need to happen; I want to have instances of one of my own classes created instead. Any advice appreciated especially if I'm missing something obvious. btw am I alone in struggling to understand the python classes underlying Zope's operation and how these classes work/ineract? I've read a lot of source code but still feel I have only the vaguest grasp of the theory of operation of the whole thing.
