After hanving reinstalled my Zope version 2.5 everything works fine with the
ZClass. Unfortunately, I run into another problem. The ZClass "News Item"
according to the Zope book chapter 9 automatic cataloging works fine.
However, new instances of the News Item Class do not catalog themselvers
automatically. They can be found under Catalog->Catalog, but they are not
yet searchable. I first have to update the catalog, in order to have the
content of my new News Item indexed. This is not really automatically, is
it? :-).

What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
