I am trying to create a ZClass instance via an external method. I have created a 'non-CatalogAware' ZClass called 'WebSites'. I can create, via the ZMI, an instance of the ZClass with no problem. However, when I try to create an instance via an external method I get an error. Here is the external method: def mytest(self): recid = "100" newobj = self.WebSitesChildData.manage_addProduct['SWV2'].WebSites.createInObjectMana ger(self, recid, REQUEST) return newobj where SWV2 is the product name; WebSitesChildData is the folder where I want the ZClass instance to be created; and 'recid' is the id I want to give the ZClass instance. The error I get is: Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 98, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object Module Products.ExternalMethod.ExternalMethod, line 224, in __call__ - __traceback_info__: ((<Folder instance at 843e830>,), {}, None) Module /apps/zope/Extensions/jhtmp.py, line 15, in jhtmp Module ZClasses.ZClass, line 449, in createInObjectManager Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 77, in mapply AttributeError: get I am at a loss, because the createInObjectManager call works from the WebSites_add constructor, but not when called from the external method. Any ideas greatly appreciated! Jonathan
