[Zope-dev] Zope`s global.asa

Hi, This might be a stupid question, but I`ll remain stupid at least until someone answers so ... Is there a global.asa counterpart in Zope, a place to put stuff that is or should be accessable in the entire site, like database-connections etc.? I was forced ( it was terrible, just terrible I tell ya!! ) to work in ASP on MS IIS ( it just gets worse ) and the global.asa didn`t seem like a bad idea. But as mentioned earlier, this might be in Zope allready. Thomas
