"<dtml-var absolute_url>" ... http://me:8080/myzopeclass/abs it doesn't show the correct absolute URL. ... Going to http://me:8080/myzopeclass/abs gives http://me:8080/ again, but that's not what I expected You are sure, "abs" is a DTML Method and not a DTML Document?
"absolute_url" is defined by the mixin class "Traversable". It should be a superclass of "ObjectManager". If it were not, then what you see would be understandable: "absolute_url" would be acquired from the containing folder. Another potential problem might be that your class does not define "getId". The result should not be as you describe, though. You should get the last path segment repeated several times. Dieter
