Hi,

I am a newbie to Zope and have just gone through the tutorials and a little
bit of ZopeBook. I have my own Custom Repository (RDBMS based) that has the
features like storing flat files, folders etc. It also has provisions for
user management. I have the XML APIs (lanuage is not a problem) for
interacting with the repository.

Can I store all the objects created in Zope in that repository?

Further I also want that the authentication should also be done based on
that repository (its like the roles and users defined in the custom system).
Is it possible in Zope?

I can comprehend that I would need to develop some kind of an interface that
sits between the two for integration, but I wanted to know that whether it
is possible in Zope or not?

Its like when a user creates a folder or an object, the request is actually
send to a module and then that module stores the object in my repository
(may be the format is little bit changed) and vice-versa.

Anticipating a positive response
