[Zope-dev] Custom Repository for Storing Objects
Hi, I am a newbie to Zope and have just gone through the tutorials and a little bit of ZopeBook. I have my own Custom Repository (RDBMS based) that has the features like storing flat files, folders etc. It also has provisions for user management. I have the XML APIs (lanuage is not a problem) for interacting with the repository. Can I store all the objects created in Zope in that repository? Further I also want that the authentication should also be done based on that repository (its like the roles and users defined in the custom system). Is it possible in Zope? I can comprehend that I would need to develop some kind of an interface that sits between the two for integration, but I wanted to know that whether it is possible in Zope or not? Its like when a user creates a folder or an object, the request is actually send to a module and then that module stores the object in my repository (may be the format is little bit changed) and vice-versa.

Re: [Zope-dev] Custom Repository for Storing Objects
If you want a transparent connection between your XML RDBMS and Zope so that Zope need not be aware of the storage for these objects then you can use Shane's AdaptableStorage to create a bridge between Zope's ZODB and your RDBMS. This is probably not going to be a total walk in the park though ;^). Also I would caution that the XML factor is likely to introduce significant overhead to the storage, which when combined with the underlying RDBMS overhead could result in disappointing performance. Just straight RDBMS ZODB storage (such as OracleStorage) not using XML at all is significantly slower than the stock FileStorage for instance. A less transparent option would be to create your own bridge by writing a Zope product that can interact via this XML API and conjure up non-persistent objects to represent its state. Then use the standard ZODB FileStorage or ZEO for the Zope side of things. It would be even easier if your API was done over XML-RPC. Then the marshalling of the XML to python objects could be largely done for you. hth, Casey scold type=obligatoryPlease don't cross-post your messages in the future.

To my knowledge it is, although I recall reading that Zope 2.6.1 is intended to be Python 2.2 compatible - not breaking, but not requiring any Python 2.2 features. 2.6.1 is supposed to have its second beta soon. I suppose I should give the first beta a test against Python 2.2 to see how it goes. 2.6.1b1's been solid under Python 2.1.3, at least on our development box.

Re: [Zope-dev] zope and python compatibility
I would strongly recommend using python version 2.1.3 for Zope 2.5.1 - 2.6.x and python = 2.2.2 for Zope 2.6.x.

The interface would probably make the content of your repository URL-addressable (see Z SQL Methods and especially direct traversal in this context). It would create proxy objects (maybe using acquisition) to present/update/delete the objects in your repositiory.
