[Zope3-dev] Exception Handling in ZopePublication

[Eckart Hertzler]

Hi,

I have a question about the exception handling
of ZopePublication.

I have a custom exception view for the Unauthorized exception, that needs to 
know in which object the Exception was raised.

The intended behaviour seems to be to provide this information as the location 
of the exception during execution of handleException.

At least that is how I interpret this comment:
[snip]
                # We need to get a location, because some template content of
                # the exception view might require one. 
[snip]

But if an Unauthorized exception is raised during traversal, the location will 
always be the root folder (or the value returned from the call to 
getApplication), which is not very interesting in my case.

Wouldn't it be better if something like request._last_obj_traversed is used ?

Regards,

Eckart
