[Zope-dev] Product Data Storage

[Andy Dawkins]

>You should look into using ZCatalog for this purpose.

OK - that is a solution that could solve my particular issue, but where
would you put it?  Would you put it in the Product folder, or in some common
place in the ZODB.
How would you create it originally? In the products __init__.py or by some
kind of DTML method.

Also would the ZCatalog be appropriate for storing general information to be
shared between instances, Maybe some global configuration options.

I am looking for a generalised method of storing Class Level Variables.
Maybe properties within the Product folder.

But above all I am looking for a method of doing this that the Zope
community agrees as being efficient and recognises as being _the_ solution
to the problem.  I want to avoid a 'hack' solution if possible.
