[Zope3-Users] URL Traversal/SelectedManagementView

[David Johnson]

Good evening.

 

I want to create an instance of a class that does not reside in the Zope DB,
and yet manage it through the ZMI.

 

That is what I have done so far.  I created a package called "customers",
which has an instance in the Zope DB.  It has a view which lists all
customers from an RDBMS. It creates a link for each customer with the
customer ID embedded in it.

 

I would like to create, on the fly, a customer instance from the customer ID
in the URL.  Based upon the ID I could set all the attributes of the
instance by loading it from a database. 

 

Anyone have ideas on the best way to do this?  What should the URL be? How
does the class get instantiated and be provided with the customer ID?
Should I put the customer ID in the URL path?  Should I pass it to some
other instance in query string (such as "customer?cid=123")? 

 

I might be a little confused on my terminology.
