I am trying to build my first ZClass. Actorclass inherits from classes
Object Manager and Catalogue Aware.
In Product Management at /Control_Panel / Products I created a product with
id="LegalObjects". I have one ZClass in the product. The ZClass has
Id="Actorclass", title="Actor Class for Legal Objects", metaname="Actor".
Actorclass_addform points to the dtml method "Actorclass_add" with the
following line <form action="Actorclass_add">.
The code for the dtml method "Actorclass_add" is as follows:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Add Actorclass</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" LINK="#000099" VLINK="#555555">
<dtml-with "Actorclass.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['Id'], REQUEST)">
<dtml-call "propertysheets.Person.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)">
</dtml-with>
<dtml-if NoRedir>
<dtml-else>
<dtml-if DestinationURL>
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(DestinationURL+'/manage_workspace')">
<dtml-else>
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(URL2+'/manage_workspace')">
</dtml-if>
</dtml-if>
</body>
</html>
The property sheet "Person" is a propertysheet of the ZClass "Actorclass".
It contains the same named variables submitted by Actorclass_addform.
I go to Zope's root, select "Actor" from the list of available objects. The
Actorclass_addform comes up. When I submit the completed form, Zope returns
an error report, informing me that Zope has encountered an error while
publishing this resource.
Error Type: NameError
Error Value: Actorclass
"This resource may be trying to reference a nonexistent object or variable
Actorclass."

I am trying to follow the beehive GmbH Z Class tutorial Release 1.1. After
many tries, I conclude I am missing something obvious that will prevent
success until it is identified and overcome.
I am using Zope version 2.2 under Windows NT 4.0, service pack 6.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong are appreciated. I am sorry I can
not identify my mistake.
Thank you for any assistance.
