[z3-five] Events / Archetypes

[Kai Diefenbach]

Hello, 

Trying out Zope 3 events I experienced unexpected behaviour. Maybe
someone can help out. I'm using Zope-2.9.4 and Plone 2.5.

Situation: There is a simple content type using Archetypes, which has a
few fields, e.g. text. This content type implements IComment.

There are simple event subscribers:

<snip> 

    from Products.CMFCore.utils import getToolByName

    def notifyAdd(comment, event):
        """
        """
        sendMail("Added Comment", entry.text)   # text is empty
    
    def changeStatus(comment, event):
        """
        """
        wftool = getToolByName(comment, "portal_workflow")
        wftool.doActionFor(comment, "publish")

</snip>

And the configure.zcml is:

<snip>

    <subscriber 
            for="Products.EasyBlogG5.interfaces.IComment.IComment 
                 zope.app.container.interfaces.IObjectAddedEvent" 
            handler=".comment.notifyAdd" /> 

    <subscriber 
            for="Products.EasyBlogG5.interfaces.IComment.IComment 
                 zope.app.container.interfaces.IObjectAddedEvent" 
            handler=".comment.changeStatus" />            

</snip>

Now the subscribers are called indeed, but all fields of the comment are
empty, that means, within notifyAdd comment.text is "" and
comment.getText() throws a AttributeError.

After processing changeStatus the *history* of the comment object says
it was published but the real state is still visible. 

Thanks 
Kai
