Hi,
I'm working on incorporating some additions to the SQLPASPlugin that
we're using here, which allow it to work with plain PAS, and also
provide generic setup support etc...
There's one item that is preventing this from working "as planned":
the way the PropertyProvider plugin returns a property sheet rather
than just a dict of data (plain PAS explicitly requires the plugin to
return a dict).
Why is that? That sounds like a PAS bug.
There was some discussion here before:
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-pas/2006-April/000507.html
It would seem to be a large change to specify a different interface,
though I would happily argue for it/contribute if there were some support.
I think this can be avoided if the sheet type is determined in the
userfactory plugin (PlonePAS/plugins/ufactory.py) rather than
directly in the plugin.
That is certainly the wrong approach. User factories do not know
anything about properties and should not know anything about them.
The user factory plugin is where the we get to customise the sort of
propertysheet to add: indeed, it seems that is one of the reasons why
PlonePAS provides it's own userfactory plugin.
If so that was the wrong thing to do. I consider this a PAS bug:
PropertiedUser should support IPropertySheet instances as well as
dictionaries. I will fix that for the upcoming PAS 1.5 release.
