Hi Zopists, I would like to use ZODB3 as an object DB to store my own objects. At the beginning, I will make any text UI but later I want to put my objects into a ZOPE Folder and store them inside ZOPE ZODB (Zope will serve as GUI). Generaly I have 2 types of objects: Container - object with some attributes and methods which can collect other objects (also Containers) Item - an object with some attributes and methods which can not collect any other objects but can be contained in Container My questions are: 1. Does anybody know what the essential Zope classes from which I have to inherit are? Of course I know the Persistent is essential for both of them but don't know whether it is sufficient for future import of my own ZODB as a part of Zope ZODB. 2. Does anybody know how to import my own ZODB (*.fs file) into Zope ZODB? I don't need to have any tabs in the web browser connected with my objects I only need possibility to store these objects inside Zope and call their methods. Please can anybody react on this it is very important to me, it is my project and I want to use ZODB.
