Zope 3, though I admit I've only played with it glancingly, seems to be more J2EE-like in certain respects: there seem to be a lot of things I have to touch to get things going. To a certain point, I can deal with this, but if there's ever a "ZDoclet"...
Lol, I remember so many times haveint to install XDoclet in order to develop my EJB's in any sane amount of time. But I understand and agree with your point here. EJB development required so much boilerplate code that it slowed the developer down big time. It took tools like XDoclet to come along and make the boilerplate code somewhat manageable before developing with EJB's was very productive IMHO. I recently talked about this at: http://www.serverzen.net/weblog/archive/2006/01/02/boilerplate-zope-projects For the record (and as my blog entry mentions), Skeletor seems to strive to be XDoclet for Zope2. - Rocky -- Rocky Burt ServerZen Software -- http://www.serverzen.com ServerZen Hosting -- http://www.serverzenhosting.net News About The Server -- http://www.serverzen.net
