"In Zope 3 you can turn off as many unwanted features as you like" That sounds really cool. How so? (Is there a tentative list of all zope 3 services? Do you need to run all of them?) -----Original Message----- From: zope-bounces@zope.org [mailto:zope-bounces@zope.org] On Behalf Of Stephan Richter Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 11:02 AM To: zope@zope.org; pythonic Subject: Re: [Zope] Seeking advice on Zope implementation Hi, it all depends what your app is like. Can you describe it some more? On Tuesday 17 May 2005 10:03, pythonic wrote:

1. Startup custmization: How can one configure zope to load instance of this as product (my application) on the startup but not the ZMI and

In Zope 3 you can turn off as many unwanted features as you like. So from this point of view Zope 3 would be good.

2. We want to generate xml using ZPTs and then apply xsl. Is the server side transformation supported?

Why? You first use ZPT to create XML and then an XSLT engine to create HTML. This seems like a slow approach to me. ZPT can generate HTML right away, which is much faster. Unless you already have your content in XML, an XSLT engine is total overkill.

3. Is there any good doc available that describes how to do things you

do in ZMI programmatically?

Zope 3 does not rely as heavily on the ZMI as Zope 2 and in fact all code is developed on the filesystem, so in this case it might be better for you.

4. Zope 2.7 / 3 ?

I think you should go with Zope 3. Several projects have already successfully integrated their Pyton code into Zope 3.
