Hi all! I'm trying to develope a zope object that connects to a external socket server in order to comunícate with it and receive some events (Maybe I need a thread to process events). The problem is how to establish the connection at the start of zope and to disconnect at the end. After some test assigning the socket server object to _v_ variables in the zope object, it missed the connection after a while. It seems that it can't maintain the reference stored in the _v_ variable. I thing that the behaviour is something like database connections and I'm looking into some database connection objects to find out the mechanism used. If anybody has interesting information or knows where to achieve docs about this, please could you advise me? Juan Carlos Coruña jcc@ibdosnorte.com
