Yeah, with or without the extra parameters, it always only returns the
root catalog instance.
I also believe that if you are looking up a catalog by name as you seem
to be doing it is not enought for the catalog object to be named
accumac_catalog but you also have to register it as the name ('Register
As' field in New Utility Registration) during catalog creation. I
usually leave 'Register As' blank as I only ever needed to get catalog
by ICatalog interface only -> zapi.getUtility(ICatalog)
When I created it, I set "register as" to "accumac_catalog". Based on
the experience you shared, I deleted my catalog and did not give it a
name upon creation. zapi.getUtility(ICatalog) now works, as it gets the
"sub-site's" catalog in the accumac/++etc++site/default directory.
Very strange. If I understood this more, or if there was expert-aided
interest, I would troubleshoot this. It may not be a bug, but there at
least seem to be issues of an anti-intuitive nature here...
Alen, thanks again for your assistance in this matter :-)
I suspect there was a problem of some sort with your original registration.
We normally use named local catalogs and haven't had a problem.
BTW, you should not pass the "context" argument to the component-lookup
functions *unless* you want to find a component in a different site.
