[Zope-dev] Servlets - Zope

[Dave]

I'm a Zope newbie.  For the past 2 years I've been writing
web apps using Java Servlets that use databases heavily.  
With Servlets I've used Connection pools to speed up access.

Could someone give me a rough idea of how Zope (say using MySql) 
handles heavy database integration (i.e. Does Zope create a connection
pool, Is there a limit on the number of connection within Zope, etc...)
? 

Could you (would you need to) create a pool to cache Db connections?


Also, on a side note. Has anyone looked at the need or possiblity of
hooking Zope to Apache JServ to run Servlets from Zope?


Thanks,
