Hi Duncan. I tried following up on some of the later replies, but I

I think that what is tripping you up is the idea of registration names
versus container names.
You can put a utility in any site package, and call it whatever you
want. This will not register it at all, let alone for any given name.
What you need to do next is to actually register the utility with the
placeful (i.e., local to a site in the ZODB, not global in memory)
site manager, so the component architecture will find it. When you
register it, you provide another name, unrelated to the first, that is
the *registration* name.
For instance, if I create a catalog in a site manager in the default
package, I might call it 'site_catalog'). After creation, so far the
only way I can address it is by walking to it through the ZODB (say,
with the container API, or with traversal as you found). I next need
to register this catalog to perform the role of ICatalog in the site.
I can provide a name or not, for this registration; whatever name I
use is the name that will be used for lookup with a getUtility or
queryUtility call.

for my attempt at detailed instructions.

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

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.
Gary and Jim, thank you both for your feedback. After playing with the
catalogs some more, and based on the information that Gary provided I
am sure you are correct, Jim. And thanks for the tip on the contect!
