The company I work for is starting to get more requests for web sites which need to have access to enterprise data. We have several Java people on staff and most of these projects are currently being done (or planned to be done) using JSP/Servlets and Enterprise Java Beans. The problem that I have with this solution is that there is very little in the way of content management available in this environment, without rolling your own. What I would really like to be able to do is build the client interface using Zope, so I can easily blend static content, dynamic content and content management, with access to enterprise data. I know that Enterprise Java Beans are accessible via CORBA, so theoretically it should be possible to access this data through Zope/Python. My basic question is this, is there anything available (free or otherwise) which would make it fairly easy for Zope to interact with something like Enterprise Java Beans? Are other people trying to use Zope in an environment where access to enterprise data is important? If so, are there other solutions to this problem? What I would really like to be able to do is use Zope in combination with a DBMS to build smaller systems, but when the need arises, I would like to be able to scale things up to allow for distributed data object access. Any thoughts, suggestions or comments on this subject? Thanks. James W. Howe mailto:jwh@allencreek.com Allen Creek Software, Inc. pgpkey: http://ic.net/~jwh/pgpkey.html Ann Arbor, MI 48103
