[Zope-dev] Soft links again

[Andre Schubert]

Hi,

i have read the two messages about Soft Link, and i tried to work with it,
because it it very important for my Product.
The problem is that the Soft Link class won't work and i don't know why.
I use zope 2.2.2 and python 1.5.2.
root:
    -myproductfolder
        -SoftLink to testdtmldoc
    -testfolder
        -testdtmldoc

In myproduct i have the following function, the class SoftLink is the same
as of Shane Hathaway.
I wan't to add a SoftLink in myproductfolder which links to testdtmldoc.
When i call the function manage_addSoftLink nothing happens??

def manage_addSoftLink(self, REQUEST=None):
        .....
        obj=SoftLink('Test/link')
        self._setObject('TestSoftLink',obj)

Whats going wrong, or did i missunderstand something?
Who can help?

as
