Document Actions
Acquisition
Up to GlossaryThis Definition applies to: Any version.
Simply put, any Zope object can acquire any object or property from
any of its parents. That is, if you have a folder called
A, containing
two resources (a document called homepage and another folder called
B), then an URL pointing at http://.../A/B/homepage would work even
though B is empty. This is because Zope starts to look for homepage
in B, doesn't find it, and goes back up to A, where it's found. The
reality, inevitably, is more complex that this. For the whole story, see
the Acquisition chapter in the Zope Book.
