I had recently herd about a zope product which does that but can't remember that name which was similar to zetac or some thing.

It doesn't make any sense to me. Zope talks either HTTP > or WSGI (which in turn talks HTTP). The RCP server doesn't. I don't > see how "inside" makes sense there. Can the two servers talk to each > other and share data? Sure, there are many solutions for that. I will try and make my problem clear. Right now my application is a twisted based rpc server application which gives the set of api like setCustomer() getCustomer() etc. Right now we have created a gtk based thin client which is nothing but an rpc client which calls the rpc published objects in the server application. Now if I want to take the entire rpc server based application and put it into zope in such a way that my rpc application is not disturbed but the features like PAS get integrated, will this be possible? More presisely, I want to use zope for this same application server and have it do the same work on xml rpc. But if I have to re-write the entire rpc application server, then it will be a tedious task. What I am thinking is to take this twisted based application server and make it a zope product. This way my classes and the published objects for rpc requests remain intact and I continue adding feature enhancements like security and other advantages which zope would give as an application server. So my simple twisted based rpc application becomes a zope product which sits in zope and takes the advantage of all that zope has to offer. I hope I am clear this time. Thanks and happy hacking.
