Re: [Zope] Java Port
Did anyone try to port Zope to Java (using JPython)?
I guess that to basic technologies of Zope, ExtensionClass and Aquisition, are not ported to JPython.
Did anyone try to compile Zope with JPython?
- running servlets and/or running Zope as servlet
Why would you want to run servlets ?
I think it would be cool, to run Zope as a servlet and to have a java binary, that you could run everywhere.
Why not PHP/ASP/Basic/XYZ scripts :)
How could I do this? ;)
- performance could benefit from JIT compilers or compile Zope as native binary (gcj)
I suspect that even after benefiting from JIT compilers it would be slower than native python ;-)
maybe
- portability? not sure if Java is more portable than Python ;)
The only architecture I know that has java and does not have python is PalmPilot.
Anyone running Zope with a PalmPilot? ;-)

I almost tried to do that. Actually, all I want is the object database. I need a java db and I can't find one faster than catsup. I've found a couple faster than molasses and a couple slower, but I'd like one that is quick and wondered if the db suupplied with zope (whose name escapes me right now) is faster. Anyway, I was just about to try that when I got put on another project, but I hope to get back to it.

Just about every embedded device nowadays is claiming java support. For instance, Scientific Atlanta can run it on their set top boxes. I haven't heard any suck claims for python, though I bet the port would be easy. -- --Michael

Ooohhh, how I would love that. Talk dirty directly from Zope with any Java based handheld using Java RMI/Jini. Ooo-la-la. :-) Rumor has it (porting Zope to Java) wouldn't be as easy as one would hope though. = Joe =

Nope, and it would require large amounts of C code be ported from the rather easy CPython/C interface to JNI, which is to be kind, baroque and obtuse. If someone wishes to do this, we certainly wouldn't stop them, but it's not a strategic direction for us at this point, and therefore we have no resources to dedicate to it.
