I need to set up a Java applet to work w/Zope. Normally no big deal, but this one (IPIX) happens to include a file named "ipix$.class". I don't have access to the source, so I can't do anything about the unfortunate inclusion of the $ in the file name. What's the best solution to this situation? Write an external method that called the applet and then call the external method?

Someone else already suggested to put the class into a "jar" archive. Do that if you can.

If not and you are using Zope 2.3, then you can look at PythonScript. It allows you to intercept subpaths, analyse them and do something sensefull with them. In your case, they could translate '$' into '_' and access the object in a nearby folder.

Mananged to dodge the problem by upgrading to a slightly newer version of the product that changes the naming scheme of the files to one that doesn't include and URL-illegal characters. But neat trick with the python script... Hadn't thought of that, but I'll remember it in case I ever run into a similar problem...
