[Zope-dev] Re: [Zope] reall-time data to a Java client interface from ZOPE

[Performance.net Support]

That's definitely the idea. I've been reading up on ZOPE and Medusa and this
type of thing is is exactly what they were designed for. What I'm wondering
now is, is it possible to plug a server I write into ZOPE in the same way
that FTP is plugged in, as a behind the scenes service that starts when ZOPE
starts. If so, how is this done? Are there any docs that might give a bit of
detail on this subject?
