Not sure if this list is the best place to put such question but here it is... I need to develop what would be a product if only Zope was the target. As it´s not I was thinking what could I do to not need to build such app twice: I came to 2 options both involving building a server of some kind and using Python to connect to this server. 1st Build the app as a COM server (the target OS is Windows) and using Python support build an interface to this COM server as a Zope product 2nd Build the app as a XMLRPC server and using Python support build an interface to this XMLRPC server The second options is better because I´m not attached to any platform but, as I said, that´s not an issue right now. Good options would be having a JVM running "inside" Zope so that jave objects could be accessed by it or SOAP Zope support beeing ready... Any sugestions on any of those or a 3rd option ? Thanks in advance, Jacques
