[ZODB-Dev] DBTab mounts

[Rocky Burt]

Hehe, well, it must have been some kind of trailing space or something
as it maps fine now (inside my plone site).

So, the layout I'm trying to get is this:
  /plone (Plone Site)
  /plone/Data (Plone Folder)

Well, if I make sure /plone/Data doesn't already exist, then when I go to the
DBTab interface I can have it create the new Data Folder, and it creates
/plone/Data just as I'd expect, except it's a regular Zope folder.  I need it
to be a Plone folder instead.  So if I pre-create /plone/Data as a zope folder
and go to the DBTab interface, it shows up as "Ok" but it isn't actually
mounted.  I can see this if I add items to the Data folder and they don't
show up in any of the database tables.

Am I missing something?  Or is it currently not possible to make a mount
behave as a Plone folder?  I'm guessing it's the same with a CMF folder.

Rocky (r0ky)
