I'm fairly sure there's already a Zope COM interface, and I know Zope can do xml-rpc. And SOAP support is coming. So I would suggest building it as an XMLRPC or SOAP server, and then use the Zope client functionality already there to connect to it. I wouldn't do COM because I'm an Open Source bigot.

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
