Hi Chris, Ooops... Reading your reply shows me that I was unclear ;) Zope will be the CMS system of the architecture (so it will render HTML). I only meant that it would get dynamic data using XML-RPC queries, but I already have an efficient product for this, so it's not an issue. So what they want is a Web Management Framework and CMS system. And they wonder if Zope is better than a JSP/Struts/Velocity solution. Don't get me wrong, I have been using Zope for almost 2 years now, I love it. The problem is that I don't do any Java development since then so I miss knowledge about Java evolutions in terms of Web Management Framework and CMS systems. So any links, advice, opinion, experience would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Zope excels at providing web services via XML-RPC. Basically: - You need to do exactly nothing to make a Zope application accessible via XML-RPC. - When Zope isn't responsible for rendering HTML, it can be quite fast. - Zope is capable of interfacing transactionally with many data stores. - C On Wed, 2005-08-17 at 12:59 +0100, Pascal Peregrina wrote:

Hi,

I know that this is an unusual request, but if some of you have some time to help me on this it would be great !

Basically, I can summarize the question I will have to answer this way : "why should we use Zope 2 instead of JSP/struts" ?

All the business logic of the company is implemented in services that talk to backend and can be queried through xmlrpc (so this is fine for Zope integration).

So the context is to use Zope or JSP/struts to manage the presentation layer.

I am currently planning to talk about built-in ZMI and transaction management, TAL, ...

Thanks a lot for your help.

Pascal
