Phillip J. Eby:
Ty and I are working on fixing that. As of today, the Specialist+Rack subsystems of the ZPatterns library are now capable of managing objects with mixed-source attributes and property sheets.
Can you use that code and extend it to allow Zope to pull it's object data from multiple sources?
That is, objects stored in a Rack can have attributes and property sheets whose data comes from non-ZODB sources. Currently, no non-ZODB sources are implemented, alas, and the mechanism is only applicable to rack-mounted objects. In future releases, we'll be adding SQL and LDAP data sources, and the ability for any Zope object to take advantage of these abilities (as long as it subclasses RackMountable, and knows how to find the "designated Rack" which will provide support for the desired features).
