I think that having one name for two radically different, though related, things is very confusing. There are really 2 main technologies that people care about:
1. The Zope app server. This is characterized by things like an object file system, through-the-web scripting and/or development, pluggable course-grained add-ons, etc.
I must warn you that what you call 'app server' is not what I call app server; I believe that using the word appserver for this set of technologies could be very confusing to people. I believe Zope 3 is an application server. I believe, say, Django is an application server too, even though as far as I know it lacks an object file system and through the web scripting. Can we find another word for what you mean?
I wasn't trying to define app server. I was describing the Zope app server. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered! CTO (540) 361-1714 http://www.python.org Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com http://www.zope.org
