RE: [Zope] How Fast & Stable??
From the tone of the thread, it looks as if things are moving towards FastCGI. I am also looking at a solution with Tcl/Velocigen, and the guys there write that:
>>>>> Freely available interfaces do exist that use the FastCGI standard. These other solutions require you to dedicate a single process for each script executed and encourage the creation of fewer and larger, more complex scripts, rather than many smaller, easy to manage scripts.
Also, these other FastCGI Perl implementations require you to know the details of the FastCGI protocol, and force you to manage memory and system resources.
>>>>>
Do these factors apply when FastCGI is used with Zope - or is Zope smart enough to handle memory and system resource management for the developer?
Sorry if these are ignorant questions - this is a new field for me!
There are no igorant questions :) FastCGI integration with Zope, like the other transport implementations, will be totally transaparent to the developer - the only time you will have to think about it is when you install it.

Does this mean that the developer writes standard Python and Zope looks after everything else? Geoff Caplan

As far as Zope is concerned, FastCGI is only a method of gluing Zope onto another web server such as Apache. It has absolutly nothing to do with developing Zope applications. The only thing FastCGI support will give you is a peformance boost if you run Zope behind another web server, and a third option when you initially install Zope (ZServer standalone, ZServer with PCGI or ZServer with FastCGI). All three options look identical to your developers. PCGI and FastCGI fundamentally do the same thing - allow a web server to pass requests to Zope. PCGI just uses standard CGI, and can be used to integrate Zope to just about any web server on the planet. FastCGI is a more efficiant protocol, but requires a web server that supports FastCGI. ___ // Zen (alias Stuart Bishop) Work: zen@cs.rmit.edu.au // E N Senior Systems Alchemist Play: zen@shangri-la.dropbear.id.au //__ Computer Science, RMIT WWW: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/~zen
