Using Zope with CORBA (new user question)
I have a long running process that will be started by Zope. This process has a CORBA interface that is implemented using ILU. I would like to be able to asynchronously have this process generate data for Zope. My basic questions are: o Can I have an ILU mainloop inside of Zope? (I really don't care if I have to hack Zope or if I can use an external method.) o Should I fork/exec the long running process and give the process a URL that indicates where the data should be written? (I can use pickles or sql.) o How do I tell Zope that new data is avaliable if the process is external to Zope? Jody Winston
Are you the wonderful folk that manage the atmospheric database at LDEO?? If so thanks a lot. I use it all the time for my work! On Thu, 4 Mar 1999, Jody Winston wrote:

I do not know much about CORBA but you might find it helpful to check the ZClient library that comes with Zope. You can use ZClient to script Zope actions. In other words you can have your CORBA proccess running independently of Zope and whenever there are available data you can call Zope using ZClient and update whatever you need to. Pavlos
