Hi, Is it then possible for example to have pieces of Python code start up when zope start up that will be persistent and executing for as long as zope runs? This code might be consuming data off a queue that is also persistent, processing the data and maybe publishing it to some other data structure to be processed by some other object? Or maybe have a persistent socket connection to some external system, the state of which is managed by another object?

Hi,

How suited is Zope as an application server for tasks you would do in JBoss if you were using Java?

I'm thinking e.g. like a message routing engine having persistent connections to different external systems, routing objects that know their state and routed by Zope according to the state.
