[Zope-dev] z3c.form: object.createObject should raise TypeError

[Christian Theune]

Hi,

the data converter for objects raises a ValueError if it can't find a
factory. This is caught by the validation machinery around it and
displayed to the user with 'There were errors'. This isn't helpful as
the user isn't told whats going on and he won't be able to do anything
about it.

The code pattern seems that this is only a synthesized version of what
exception the component architecture would raise. Thus the error should
appear as an application error (visible in the error log) as this
situation needs to be dealt with by a programmer.

Objections for changing this?

Christian
