That's definitely the idea. I've been reading up on ZOPE and Medusa and this type of thing is is exactly what they were designed for. What I'm wondering now is, is it possible to plug a server I write into ZOPE in the same way that FTP is plugged in, as a behind the scenes service that starts when ZOPE starts. If so, how is this done? Are there any docs that might give a bit of detail on this subject? kh ----- Original Message ----- From: "sam" <linuxcraft@redspice.com> To: "Kevin Howe" <khowe@performance-net.com> Sent: Monday, March 20, 2000 9:37 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] reall-time data to a Java client interface from ZOPE

Without knowing much about you architecture I guess I would create an event notification service in python/java to which you can post events using an external method from zope and have the java client subscribe to events of interest.

I've built an application with ZOPE and would like to create a Java interface to it (probably using jpython/wxWindows)
Here's how it should work:
When changes are made on the ZOPE site by a client, a notification is sent from ZOPE to the Java interface and displayed in real-time. The idea here is not to have a continually refreshing Java window, but a window which updates only when it receives a message from the site to do so.
What I don't know is how to send the data from ZOPE to the Java client. Can anyone point me to any existing ZOPE Products/Projects/How-To's which are similar to what I've described, or perhaps point me in the right direction?
