Zope excels at providing web services via XML-RPC. Basically: - You need to do exactly nothing to make a Zope application accessible via XML-RPC. - When Zope isn't responsible for rendering HTML, it can be quite fast. - Zope is capable of interfacing transactionally with many data stores. - C On Wed, 2005-08-17 at 12:59 +0100, Pascal Peregrina wrote: Hi, I know that this is an unusual request, but if some of you have some time to help me on this it would be great !

RE: [Zope] Help need for a Zope presentation to java lovers...
Hi Chris, Ooops... Reading your reply shows me that I was unclear ;) Zope will be the CMS system of the architecture (so it will render HTML). I only meant that it would get dynamic data using XML-RPC queries, but I already have an efficient product for this, so it's not an issue. So what they want is a Web Management Framework and CMS system. And they wonder if Zope is better than a JSP/Struts/Velocity solution. Don't get me wrong, I have been using Zope for almost 2 years now, I love it. The problem is that I don't do any Java development since then so I miss knowledge about Java evolutions in terms of Web Management Framework and CMS systems. So any links, advice, opinion, experience would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Well, it's not too bad at doing that either. ;-) I only meant that it would get dynamic data using XML-RPC queries, but I already have an efficient product for this, so it's not an issue. So what they want is a Web Management Framework and CMS system. And they wonder if Zope is better than a JSP/Struts/Velocity solution. Considering you're likely the one that will be implementing it, I'd say so as you know Zope very well. But they're probably thinking strategically (which IMO is a mistake ;-). Don't get me wrong, I have been using Zope for almost 2 years now, I love it. The problem is that I don't do any Java development since then so I miss knowledge about Java evolutions in terms of Web Management Framework and CMS systems. I don't know much about Struts either, sorry. I have never actually implemented a CMS using Java so I may be the wrong person to speak up. I did give a minor look-see to Cocoon lately and was distinctly unimpressed because it doesn't do some things that you just take for granted in Zope (declarative security being the big one). - C ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
