its easiest to it with (IMO)

xml-rpc 

and find your zclasses with calls to objectids and query the
propertysheets directly for property info.


check out 

http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/xmlrpclib.py
you'll need to fix a base class and an import.

www.xml-rpc.com

www.xml.com search for amos

and zope.org for howtos on xmlrpc
