Hi Andrew,
MVC is a pattern rather than a technology so it's mostly up to you to
implement. Zope, the framework, doesn't mandate its use but it does
provide facilities that make it easy to implement (via python
scripts, Five views and templates, and other things).
Zope isn't a continuation-based framework. Use sessions instead.
Zope's ZODB is an object persistence engine roughly equivalent to
Hibernate. It is however, not accessible via Java.
Zope is written in Python, not Java, so reusing your existing
libraries would be an exercise in bridging Python and Java (maybe via
web services or a plain old fire-off-a-Java-process-from-within-zope-
and-communicate-with-it-over-its-stdin).
Trust Commerce has a very nice Python library for merchant banking:

In general, if you're looking to continue implementing the bulk of
your application in Java, Zope may not be for you unless you use it
for some very specific piece that has very well-defined integration
requirements.

Hi,
I am completely new to the world of Zope and would like to know how
zope handles the following:
1. MVC
2. Continuations
3. Persistence ala Hibernate
I have an existing cocoon project, 2.1.8, which I was contemplating
on moving either over to webobjects or zope. I have a number of
java classes which I would like to continue to use and wondered
whether zope would be able to plug into these classes, or are am I
looking at a complete re-build for those as well? One major issue I
have is with a paypal SDK I am currently testing which handles
merchant banking, are there any merchant banking SDK's out there
which are zope compliant that anyone know of?
regards
Andrew
