Hi Butch,
#Although distributed transactions is already implemented, the Zope BDFL #(Jim Fulton) #is actively working on improving it precisely because they want to target #progressively larger and larger sites # #see http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/FrontPage # I've been sourcing for information about distributed transactions in Zope, but I can't seem to find it. It's not in the page you asked me to look at. Do you know where I can read more information about it? #I dont see any major obstacle for Zope not to take on enterprise class #projects except #that j2ee simply has more momentum in the corporate world... # I believe it's closely associated to Sun's marketing more than anything else. It's quite different if there's a company actively cutting deals, and marketing a development platform. I've read about Zope's features, and architecture, and I see a strong resemblance with J2EE containers. I think Zope's share of enterprise apps will grow in the next few years. App servers are the way to go. #My own experience (with servlets though/not j2ee) has simply been that I #ended up preferring #python/zope over java/servlets/webmacro/tomcat/interbase (although if #you pay me enough, #I'll do it any which way you want). I can't exactly explain it -- its #just that I have #more fun programming in python rather than in java. # We're in the same boat, but one the other side -- I've been reading stuff about Python/Zope, but in my line of work, I don't see it being used, at least in the immediate future. #I'd urge you to play with python or even jython (if you want to call #your java objects #using python and vice-versa)... maybe you'll end up agreeing with me ;^) # We'll see. I'm slowly getting a hang of Python. But not enough to make software that people will actually pay for. ;) BTW are there distributed component models in Zope much like EJBs in J2EE? If there is, I'd probably enjoy it more if I start from there. :) BTW Are you telecommuting? If so, would you mind if I ask you some operational details (privately, of course) ? I'm telecommuting too, but I'm just curious how it works across continents (if you still work of a US-based company that is). stay cool. jeff -- -- Jeff Gutierrez Mapua Online! http://www.mapua.org http://www.mapua.com http://www.mapua.net Pinoy Ako!
