[Zope-dev] Virtual DataSkins

Steve Alexander wrote:

In the ScinScript, you need to determine what data to use based on self.id. Here's the SkinScript I use for a similar function; I'm creating "virtual" instances of one ZClass, based on instances of a different ZClass from another Specialist. In this case, the other specialist is "Responses".

WITH Responses.get_data_for_code(code=self.id) COMPUTE subject_name, rater_name, relationship_name, response_code, process_step

Steve, Is it possible to have a Specialist that is entirely 'virtual'? Can a Specialist be set up to use a generic DataSkin that stores attributes persistently, without having to define a ZClass at all? If so, can you describe a procedure for accomplishing this? TIA, Michael Bernstein
