[Zope] FileSystemSite aware product

[Alexis Roda]

Hi,
I have a container product and I would like to write the corresponding 
FSxxx adapter. It would be nice if I could map the object as a folder on 
the filesystem.

I've got this working, but I find my solution too complex. It would be 
nice if someone could give a better way.

I map the object to a file "name.xxx" (which stores some object 
properties) and a folder "_name.xxx" (which is hidden to FSSite and acts 
as the real container). In the product I define three classes:

* XxxSurrogate(DirectoryViewSurrogate, Xxx), Xxx is the original, non 
FS, product class.

* XxxView(DirectoryView) on which I override __of__ so it returns a 
XxxSurrogate for the directory "_name.xxx".

* FSXxx(FSObject) which parses "name.xxx" and creates instances of XxxView.

What I don't like from that solution are the XxxSurrogate and XxxView 
classes. Does FileSystemSite provide some way to acomplish that in a 
simpler way?




Thanks in advance
