Hi Zopers On the xml-doc mailing list [1] I read a notice about Infozone [2], an open source application server framework that looked relevant to the kind of stuff Zope does. Maybe some of their components are suited to be leveraged? I pasted a bit of the intro below. .. [1] http://www.egroups.com/messages/xml-doc/ .. [2] http://www.infozone-group.org/index.html ........................................................... Infozone is an open-source project for the creation of an Java and XML based framework of components that allows programmers to create complex Enterprise Information Portal (EIP) applications. Enterprise Information Portals are applications that integrate all kind of data sources and provide users a single gateway to personalized information needed to make informed business decisions. The infozone-group.org site itself is such an application. It gives you access to different data sources (mail archives, CVS, static HTML content, other will follow) and provides you a single web gateway to the information. Today the programmer has to deal with different tools and technologies to build such applications. Infozone allows you to develop such system in one integrated Java/XML environment. ........................................................... -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Sofware -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K
