You have several choices:
1. Register your customer object as a utility and then do utility lookups. In
this case you can reuse code in zope.app.component.vocabulary.
2. You probably have a convention where to find customers, like a
"CustomerContainer". You can setup your application to easily look up this
container to get the entries.
Thank you for your answer. In the meantime I made some progress with
containers.
In your opinion, which of these 2 options suits best for a large number
of objects (say, about 100,000 customers)?
About vocabularies: In another post you say you'd rather use them
instead of sources. As far as I can see, queryable sources seem the main
choice for management of large collections. Example: a user wants to
browse a list of all Customers beginning with "a"; I cannot fill the
HTML page with about 5000 entries, but have to manage "chunks" of
objects in some way. Hence a queryable object is needed.
Am I wrong? Is there a way to tweak vocabularies to support such cases?
Could anyone provide an example of a similar implementation? Note that I
have to use a Relational db, so if I understand well I cannot use
catalogs or similar.
A somewhat derived question:
- Given a certain Invoice, how do I use the 'reference' to the Customer
Object to access the Customer of the Invoice?
Re-reading this now, this was really a silly question...
Thank you again.
Carlo Cardelli.
