Hi,
Dont try to do this. Try to build the application with Zope using python scripts, but dont try to 1:1 adapt ASP logic into Zope. You'll end up making things harder for you then they have to.
It's all about the time limit. I rather convert the scripts, or either rebuilt it from scratch off course. But I thought it would be possible, would last for 30 days then or something, to have a litte more time.
But, I have some time limit so I'd like to know, if there is some way to bring it in first with all the ASP stuff, and then rewrite the scripts one by one.
I guess the answer is no, but I am not sure.
I'd say no, but: you might have written your scripts in Python. ASP uses Scripting host and scripting host does not only support VBScript, but also JScript and - if installed - python. If so, you could write a "wrapper" which exposes the needed API to your scripts. (Of course this would be much more work then simply rewriting the app completely)
If they are in VBScript you can try to build an exotic pile of abstration layers, like calling script via web client from zope to IIS, or use scripting host from Zope->External Method->some_wierd_DCOM_action
Whatever. If you manage to learn the strengts of zope, you will write the application much faster from scratch.
Yeah, okay, I'll do that. It's just that I need more time. I guess it's just easier then to do it from scratch :)
May we learn what you want to transport to zope? May be its done already elsewhere?
It's just a simple site, which I can built in Perl for a couple of days. But I am going through the Zope learning curve now, and that's why I am not that fast. I need to get better OO-glasses still :) Thinking in objects and so on. it's www.hginternational.com , a company which is selling cleaning stuff. Jurgen
