I'd like to get zope developers advice. I'm interested in the possibility of developing a system by putting together several zope instance that talk to each other via web services. I'd like to use zope as a RESTful server but I am novice zope user. I have only built one product and that was over a year ago.
What I would like to do is the following:
I'd like to be able to use zope as a url addressed storage system for e-forms. These are forms like you would find in a hospital clinic. There would be a gui interface that would be separate from the zope server (maybe it would also run in a different zope server but it could also be built in php or jsp).
This sounds like a very straight-forward application that could easily be implemented in zope. If you want a relational db for storage, there are several, i personally like mysql as the ZSQLDA interface does everything I need. You could use ReportLab to dynamically generate pdf docs if you need them. You can google for "zope xml-rpc" if you want to use that approach. hth Jonathan
