No. ;)

Yes :-)) Note I use both Zope and Tomcat so this is not based on religious feelings. Using Zope will allow you to focus on getting your work done without having to wade through tons of tutorials and docs about the next Java API, SDK version security toolkit, ... all before getting one page up. You will get work done in 20-25% of the time with your mind feeling a lot lighter. The Zope database adapter and DTML support for SQL queries allows powerful apps to be built rapidly and also maintained with much less pain. The only reason you would not use Zope and use Tomcat would be if there was a corporate policy of using Java and J2EE and/or you had to be tightly coupled into some existing Java application/platform. ( Loosely coupled you can still do with Zope and XML messaging/SOAP). That is the current reason I use Tomcat in some areas. -- Statistics show that most people are in the majority, while fewer are in the minority Nitin Borwankar nitin@borwankar.com _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
