Hi.. Thanx for the reply, but are there any pointers for performing this operation. Like how can I completely override the object creation in Zope and create objects directly in my Repository. And how would zope understand it and dispkay in its view. I think there are lot of products for customizing the user managemnet part of Zope. So I think that part can be accomplished with some small work (creating some abstractions). Anticipating a Positive Response.

This would mean, the objects were not created in Zope at all but directly in the Custom Repository. Zope would provide views on the Custom Repository similar to Z SQL Methods (and the associated search interfaces) for relational databases. You would customize a User Folder. There are (almost) hundreds of examples for such a task... It is. The interface would probably make the content of your repository "URL-addressable" (see Z SQL Methods and especially "direct traversal" in this context). It would create proxy objects (maybe using acquisition) to present/update/delete the objects in your repositiory. Dieter
