Thanks for the assistance Alexandre and Tres. Your suggestion did the trick. It seems a little odd that this appeared in 2.0.1 and is still around in 2.1.2. Does anyone know if a fix has been considered. It seems it would be pretty easy to just change the default 'add' method that gets created when a ZClass is created and avoid this pitfall. I'd volunteer to look at it, but I'm sure a more elegant solution can be thought of by those more experienced with Zope than I.

I have embarked on my first effort to create a custom ZClass for a site I am building. It almost works! The problem has something to do with the way the object "id" gets created when I make an instance of my custom ZClass. I am using Zope 2.1.2 and my ZClass inherits from DTML Document. I upgraded to the latest version hoping it would fix the problem. It didn't, so I assume now that I am doing something wrong.
<snip>
The basic problem is that when I create an instance, the "id" property ends up blank! I see the object in the manage GUI with its id, but when I try to access the "id" of the instance in DTML, I get a value of "<string>" instead of the id I assigned. The other properties, like title and author, get created correctly. The edit page for the new object instance (it is a sub-class of DTML Document) also displays a blank id.
Any clues???
