This might be the third time I hit this issue, and I've always given up before. I hope this is the last time. I have some product that would greatly benefit from being able to be configured from within zope.conf. I don't want a separate configuration file. Period. Why? Apache doesn't have separate configuration files for mod_cache or mod_anything. Chris McDonough has used the %import feature on ClockServer product, but that just works because zopeschema.xml has a <multisection> definition for ZServer.server type. I think it would be very useful for zopeschema.xml to have a <multisection> for some abstract type to allow third-party product to define their own section type extending this abstract type and thus have their configuration kept inside zope.conf Consider this a proposal *wink*. -- Sidnei da Silva Enfold Systems, LLC. http://enfoldsystems.com
