Hello, How is Zope architecture different/similar to a servlet communicating rmi to an EJB container ?
Ok, I just got the servlet book so I know minimal about this. RMI is, as I understand it, a very high level Java remote procedure call protocol that works in an OO way to allow severlets and applets and other things communicate with a servlet. Zope works by turning protocol requests into object accesses and method invocations. Thus, the point of Zope is much like RMI, various protocols are used to trigger method invocations in a persistent database. Zope can speak HTTP, FTP, XML-RPC, PCGI and WebDAV. I could see Zope being able to handle RMI easily, possibly even by getting JPython into the equation. This could be quite cool. Volunteering? There is also the idea that Zope could work as a servlet, meaning that to a servlet compatable server, Zope would look like any other servlet. Stranger still we could also make Zope a servlet *server*, able to run servlets and return them, possibly to another servlet! -Michel
thanks, Steve
