i have come up against a similar problem and solved it by calling...

self = self.this()

before "using" self inside the factory method. i would place this call right before you call self._getNewId().

I solved it by renaming _getNewId() to getNewId() ... Go figure. Must have something to do with permissions. I will try you solution too though, as _getNewId() really is meant to be a private method. regards Max M
