[Zope-dev] Acquisition problems with XMLDocument?

[Martijn Faassen]

Hi there,

I'm having some trouble getting acquisition to work with XMLDocuments.
When
calling some part of an XML doc by URL acquisition works, but when
calling it in Python it doesn't (or I don't get it). I get name errors.

Example:

XMLDocument - doc:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<text>This is text</text>

DTML method - renderText:
<p>
<!--#var "text_content()"-->
</p>

DTML method - viewText:
<!--#var standard_html_header-->
<!--#var "doc[0].renderText()"-->
<!--#var standard_html_footer-->

When I access renderText as follows, it works:

.../doc/0/renderText

However, when I use viewText instead, it gives a NameError (text_content
unknown). So acquisition is in fact doing something (as renderText is
indeed called), but then it seems to forget the namespace context?

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Regards,

Martijn
