ANNOUNCE: Zope and Microsoft Integrate Using Standards
OK, here's announcement number two for today: http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/1 2-02-1999/0001087563 Summary: Digital Creations announced today increased interoperability between its Open Source Zope application server and Microsoft platforms using open standards. An early 2000 Zope release will include support for two protocols heavily supported by Microsoft, the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol. What's the translation on this one? Namely, we'll be adding SOAP support to Zope as an augmentation of the XML-RPC support that is there now. Also, Microsoft engineers are talking with us about interoperability with the beefed-up DAV implementation in Windows 2000. I'm cooking up another press release, hopefully for next week, then that's it for the holidays. Whew! --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul@digicool.com 540.371.6909 ----------------------------------------- The Open Source Zope application server http://www.zope.org/

Any in particular? You mean will we abandon XML-RPM? I can't speak authoritatively, but I serious doubt that what we'll do will disable any existing efforts. Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli@digicool.com http://www.digicool.com

Sorry I was thinking of Microsoft as the legacy company. SOAP is one of their confections isn't it? -- Robin Becker

SOAP is (Brian Lloyd can deal with this in more detail) is the "simple" Object Access Protocol, derived from XML-RPC. Simple is relative. As with LDAP, the "simple" version is much heavier than the "original" version. Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli@digicool.com http://www.digicool.com

So Microsoft has noticed Zope. I hope Digital Creations will not be acquired by MS soon.
