(I posted this in c.l.p half a week ago; I haven't seen it appear on my news server so I think it didn't make it) Hello, In trying to write a Zope Product-conformant management program, I've been reading as much as possible on the Zope object publisher and repository. Every Zope example I've seen (off of Zope.org's documents and contributed software) lacks any insight on WHERE to put my source files. For example: the Trinkets Tutorial API doesn't mention how I should have the Z ORB set up; I read of a http://domainname:8081/projects/users/username/cgi-bin/example.cgi but I don't understand if example.cgi should be under the Principia object heirarchy or under the actual filesystem. Wouldn't I have to 'import Globals; import Acquisition; ...' within the example's source code in order to access the Zope ORB? (incidentally, when I install and run an external method, I don't have to import anything -- Zope is in my namespace). What is the name of the daemon that fields orb requests over the web (serve.sh?). Should I be able to import Acquisition, etc., from a normal python prompt? (my installation of Python doesn't find it. I've Red Hat 5.2, Python 1.5.1 and Zope 1.9 built from source). My project includes dtml files, icons, and source files. If I write it as a Product, how can I make it so that someone needs only to access a .cgi on my home page to be able to access it? Do all these files go under lib/python/Products/<project-name>? if so, what about the files I create in the Principia management screen? why aren't those objects on the file system too? Does there exist any way to export them from the database to disk so that I can distribute my package easily? (the Principia Manger's Guide mentions backing up source code and support -- not objects that have since been installed in the object heirarchy by the program.) I can find manuals on Zope technical definitions, dtml scripting, etc. ad nauseum, yet I can't find any simple explanation on where my files go. I've searched in dejanews, the FAQ, and all the manuals on zope.org. Perhaps someone has a page on starship that deals with this? Thanks, Roey Katz katz@wam.umd.edu
