Hi, I have a DTML document with the following structure: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-try> <dtml-call "my_external_method(REQUEST)"> <p> Report that everything was ok and wait for ack. <form method=POST action=index_html> <input type=submit value="OK"> </form> <dtml-except MyException> <p class="warning"> Warn about problem found by external method. <form method=POST action="treatError"> <input type=submit value="OK"> </form> </dtml-try> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> and it works wonderfully, to be honest I thought it was quite uncanny to define and raise an exception inside the python module, and having it caught by the DTML document. Now, to improve the treatment of errors I need to refer, inside the <dtml-except> block, to some variables that were defined in the REQUEST variable (I'm pretty confident of this because I used them inside the external method), but it seems that the original REQUEST variable is no longer set inside the <dtml-except> block. Is this correct? What actually happens (in simple terms, please :) when an exception is thrown? I also tried the very few other tricks I know with DTML (<dtml-with "_.namespace..."> outside the <dtml-try> block, plus some other voodoo) but couldn't get it to work, either. Should I return these values as error values with the exception? I can do it if this is the only option, but I'm already using the return value for information related to external method things, and I'd rather not mix the two ``domains'', so to speak.
