[Zope] Server-side Java & Zope?

[Richard Gordon]

I hope that I am not beating a well-beaten horse, but a search on 
Google didn't seem to tell me whether it's possible to use java 
servelets to extend Zope sort of like python/perl externals can. So 
is this do-able (even if it involves invoking the servelet 
indirectly?)?

I would prefer to use python exclusively, but it would be useful to 
be able to tell some IT manager simpletons that what I propose to do 
with Zope will include "some java" since even they have heard of 
java, while python draws a knowing blank (altho it's being used for 
regression testing by the product development people in the same 
company two floors down) and Zope doesn't even rate that.

I spent 5 years as an IT manager and understand not wanting to make a 
bad decision, but I also made it a point to know what the choices 
were before the issue came up. It appears to me that the current 
breed of featherbedders is composed of appallingly political 
creatures who wouldn't know a router from a waffle iron. No wonder M$ 
has a monopoly.
