I am experiencing some kind of acquisition problem when calling DTML Methods from External Methods In a nutshell, I have a dtml method: ---------------------(test1_dtml)--- <dtml-var URL> ------------------------------------ ...which renders fine when I view it using a web browser. When I test an external method which calls this DTML method, however, I get this traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 150, in publish_module File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 114, in publish File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 158, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Test) File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 98, in publish File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 88, in mapply (Object: test1) File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 39, in call_object (Object: test1) File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/Products/ExternalMethod/External Method.py, line 202, in __call__ (Object: test1) (Info: ((<Folder instance at 89f8ac8>,), {}, None)) File /home/zope/2-5-0/lib/python/Products/Model/Extensions/XmlRpc.py, line 66, in Test_test1 (Object: Test) File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 127, in __call__ (Object: test1_dtml) File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 473, in __call__ (Object: test1_dtml) KeyError: URL This is the module containing the function for my External Method: --------------------(myModule.py)--- def test1( self ): return self.Test.test1_dtml( self ) ------------------------------------ Curiously, though my DTML Method '''<dtml-var URL>''' does not work, if I change it to '''<dtml-var "REQUEST.get('URL')">''' it works fine. ????? Thanks to any Acquisition Gurus who can explain this. Brian Withun ------------
