Apache and AOLserver with what? What would you program these with?
Well, for Apache there's PHP or mod_perl, which do offer sessions, authentication(via externally-written modules), database API, and quite fast too. Of course they do not have most of the 'unique' object-oriented features of Zope (as listed on Zope website), and don't have the "manage-everything-thru-the-browser" feature (but projects like midgard may be catching up?)
Of course Zope is slow. But apache doesn't have a tenth of the functionality of Zope (on my system, ZServer is 1/20th of the total Zope code)
Well, i do appreciate the 'extra' features that Zope provides, but speed is still a matter of concern here. Imagine showing my boss "what my website can do" and all those advanced features, but it crawls like a snail... Anyway, thanks for your reply. I will certainly pick up 'Zope':), but just wondering whether it will replace what i have been using, i.e. PHP. regards, firestar ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
