[Zope] Module security assertions fail

1 May 2004

      Hi,

sorry if you see this message twice, but I posted it yesterday and didn't 
found it on the list today.

So here goes it again:

I have two packages "TranslationUtils" and "JMZPTMacros", which I want to 
use from a zope product. I have implemented the module and class security 
assertions as indicated on the Zope Developer's Gide, but I got always an 
Unauthorized error (see the traceback attached at the bottom of this 
message).

Here is the structure:

* Some metal macros I want to use with my Products:
MyInstanceHome/Products/JMUtils/JMZPTMacros

* Some calls to the avalaible Translation services:
MyInstanceHome/Products/JMUtils/TranslationUtils

* Zope product, which uses the previous packages:
MyInstanceHome/Products/JMColorPicker

I've had success with JMZPTMacros, but not with TranslationUtils.

Here is what I have done (Please note that I put some extra dashes at the 
begining of the lines, where the indentation is required):

----->Begin of MyInstanceHome/Products/JMUtils/__init__.py

__doc__='''JMUtilities'''
__version__='0.2'

from Products.PythonScripts.Utility import allow_module, allow_class
allow_module('Products.JMUtils')
allow_module('Products.JMUtils.JMZPTMacros')
allow_module('Products.JMUtils.TranslationUtils')

#JMZPTMacros has a class inside. On the contrary,
#TranslationUtils is only a package of functions
from Products.JMUtils.JMZPTMacros import JMZPTMacros
allow_class(JMZPTMacros)

----->End of MyInstanceHome/Products/JMUtils/__init__.py

----->Begin of MyInstanceHome/Products/JMUtils/JMZPTMacros.py

from Products.PageTemplates.PageTemplateFile import PageTemplateFile
from AccessControl import ClassSecurityInfo
import Globals

class JMZPTMacros:
--security=ClassSecurityInfo()
--security.declarePublic()

--security.declarePublic('generic_add')
--generic_add=PageTemplateFile('zpt/generic_add',globals())
--generic_add._owner=None

--#The same was done with the rest of my templates on
--#the zpt directory of JMUtils

# finally
Globals.InitializeClass(JMZPTMacros)

----->End of MyInstanceHome/Products/JMUtils/JMZPTMacros.py

----->Begin of MyInstanceHome/Products/JMUtils/TranslationUtils.py

from AccessControl import ModuleSecurityInfo
security=ModuleSecurityInfo()

security.declarePublic('checkTranslationService')
def checkTranslationService():
--"""Some code comes here

#The same was done for the rest of the functions on this package

#Finally
security.apply(globals())

----->End of MyInstanceHome/Products/JMUtils/TranslationUtils.py

Then I have a manage_add page template with the following line inside:

  <span tal:define="TranslationUtils 
modules/Products/JMUtils/TranslationUtils;">
    Something comes here
  </span>

When I try to add the product on the zope manage interface, I get:

Traceback (innermost last):

   - __traceback_info__: {'path': ['Products', 'JMUtils', 
'TranslationUtils'], 'TraversalRequestNameStack': []}
Unauthorized: You are not allowed to access 'TranslationUtils' in this 
context

But if I create the following pythonscript (no parameters and return value 
were given):

from Products.JMUtils import TranslationUtils

then I hit the test tab and try again to create an instance of my product, 
it will magically work till zope is restarted. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advanced,
Josef Meile
