Waaagh! Doesn't for me :-(

external method:

def updateall(self,updatemethod, metatypes=['Session Id Manager']):
    sss =  self.ZopeFind(self,obj_metatypes=metatypes)
    print sss

when I do http://mysite.com/updateall, I get:

[]

...printed from the Zope console... what am I doing wrong?

Hmmm... I didn't exlain myself very well. In one of the places we're using a
catalog, we don't _have_ a RID. We had been generating integers and using those
as both keys in a BTree and RID's for the catalog. Now catalog wants RID's to be
strings but OOBTrees are inefficient :-S

...then I thought 'well, UIDs are just what we want' but I'm not sure there's a
way to just give ZCatalog an object (without supplying a RID) and have ZCatalog
return the RID... any ideas?

cheers,
