Hi, I have a problem working with acquisition. I'm working with python classes in Zope 2.7.1. These class are zope objects. My class structure has class F derived from Folder and class I derived from SimpleItem. An instance of I is created in class F and then a call to setObject is made with the id and handle to the instance of I. When I bring up zope, the instance of I shows up in the folder, as expected. However, if I execute self.absolute_url_path() in I, it does not return a full path, only the id of the instance object. When I step through the absolute_url_path source code, I find that the instance of I does not have an attribute for self.aq_parent. I was surprised at this because I is a SimpleItem which in turn is derived from Acquisition. Am I mistaken in my expectation that instance I would have an aq_parent that is the folder that contains it? Thank you in advance. Jim Anderson
