Maybe I can trap the erro and raise some other exception ? Or maybe there's a bug that exception handling isn't done right ? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello,

I'm trying to update my catalog, and much to my surprise, it ain't working !

Some objects require form parameters and so on, raise errors when none are provided. So now when I ask the catalog (In this case a CMF one, but the fact it's CMF shouldn't really matter, right?) to index everything it can find, it raises an error when it lands on such objects.

Now this has never happened ot me before, and I'd always assumed that objects that raised errors while being index simply didn't get indexed, hence my suprise. I was actually counting on such doucments NOT getting indexed BECAUSE they raise errors.

Admitedly, I'm doing something somewhat out of the ordinary. I have a CMF Document that actually renders/interprets TAL (Basically a CMF Document ZPT). SearchableText() runs a CookedBody that does the ZPT rendering ... Of course NOT using CookedBody at indexing might be an option, but I'm not sure of the consequences ... Some documents that have simple tal:replace/tal:content type instructions in them I DO want to have Cooked before indexing ...

Anybody have any good ways or suggestions on how to get around this ?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
