[Zope-dev] Unauthorized - container has no security assertions

7 Nov 2001

      Hi guys,

I'm trying to develop a request session class (delivers session on a
per-request basis), and during, get this error:

Error type: Unauthorized
Error value: Access denied for <method request_session.set of
request_session instance at 0x9185e5c> because its container,
<Products.warp_framework.request_session.request_session instance at
0x9185e5c>, has no security assertions.

Traceback (innermost last):

The classes look like this:

class request_session:
    """Class used for storing data on a per-request basis."""

    def __init__(self):
        self.storage_ = {}

    def set(self, key, value):
        """Hook for setting values via DTML."""
        self.storage_[key] = value

    __set_roles__ = None

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return self.storage_[key]

    def __getattr__(self, name):
        try:
            return self.__getitem__(name)
        except KeyError:
            raise AttributeError, name

class request_session_mixin:
    """Mixin class which will provide a request session."""

    def get_request_session(self):
        """Returns the session for the request."""
        try:
            return self.get_request()['request_session_']
        except KeyError:
            self.get_request().set('request_session_', request_session())
            return self.get_request_session()

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Morten
