Yes, you did!

The objectIds are no longer callable via a URL, they can only be called from
DTML or Python (internal and external).

This means that you can't call it via XML-RPC.

Don't lose hope though, here's how to get around this limitation.

Create an Internal Python Script in the root of Zope, with these contents:

return context.objectItems()

This will return the list and all will be well.

You should though have some security on this method, otherwise *everybody*
will see the contents on your Zope instance.
