[Zope] Zope,Python,Corba - which way to go

[Marco Stipek]

Hello Zopers,

I'm currently working on a project, which requires to have access to a
Corba ORB (currently Fnorb is used).
Does anyone played a little bit with Corba, Python and Zope?

My following Questions are not completely answered for me yet:
a) How to handle the Corbaclient in a multi threaded environment.

b) I think it's a bad Idea to use an Extension Method. Thus every
Clientrequest leads to the same process of getting the ref and than
getting an object handle throughout a factory. If I understand right
ZClasses and Products are initialized at Zope server start time. Then
I think is best to use them for doing the initial Job (getting
references) and presenting them through a well defined Interface.

c) How exactly is the life circle of:
   - Product Objects
   - External Method Objects
   - ZClasses

Maybe you have some hints or links for me, or could something tell
about your own experiences.

   
Thanks for your responses
