Hi all,
Post by Mario RuggierPost by KevinHello-
I just recently ran into finding the modeling framework. Given my
history with NeXT / Apple tools, I am pretty excited about it.
I am looking for tools to build a new application, and have recently
turned towards python (I am an old Objective C hack)
I am wondering-
1. What do those of you with similar past (WOF/EOF) use for the web
application layer? That is, what do you use to map business objects
to webpages with?
I still occasionnally do. We discussed this topic here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3851846&forum_id=10674
Agreed, this is not an extensive description, so feel free to ask for
more. To summarize, I'm using pure-python for the business logic, and
Products in zope as VC components --Zope Products can be viewed as WO
components, the zpt being the .wod+.html stuff, and the python part of
the product the component.java.
Post by Mario RuggierHello!
I know that Sebastien has used modeling with zope, and I'm sure he'll
comment about that shortly... (hey, maybe he is on a well-deserved
holiday?)
I wish I was in holidays! In fact some nasty hardware problems hit me
on my personal machine, and since I've little time for that things are
slowly evolving; most of the datas, incl. current work on the project is
now recovered, I still need to reinstall a whole system --big part being
reinstalling the test oracle dbs...
Post by Mario RuggierPost by Kevin2. Has anyone used Modeling with plone/zope? Any strong biases about
this ("don't do it" or "do this instead")?
Well, as you'll read in the thread referenced above my approach w/ zope
/ plone was MVC-like, w/ business-logic coded in pure python and brought
to the zope app. server through dedicated Products. The only problem
people are ranting about is the absence of optimistic locking, which
hopefully will eventually come up soon.
Post by Mario RuggierIs there a clearing house for information about the different application
frameworks (cherrypy, zope, others) that I could look at? If there is a good
clearing house, please let me know. I have not found many articles that go in
depth about the distintions between the tools, as one might find in some of
the other languages.... (I have looked, just have not been successful yet.)
Sorry, I don't know. A google search for "zope comparison" seems to show
some documents, and dedicated search "comparison webware" e.g. leads to
other results. Seems like you have a bunch of separate opinions to read
and summarize... BTW, you may be luckier if you ask dedicated
mailing-lists, such as the ones for zope, webware, etc. If by any
chance you end-up with a link, or even with writing your own, we'll be
interested here ;)
