[Jerry] This may be the link you were thinking of: http://www.omg.org/technology/documents/formal/corba_business_specifications _av2.htm with the Corba Workflow Specification available as a .PDF. [AlbertL] Yes. The Task and Session spec there is also very relevant. The Workflow Spec is based di

Thanks for the interesting URLs on workflow discussions. Corba Ecommerce has very interesting and thorough models of workflows, including UML diagrams and even an XML format for defining state machines. Sorry, this may be old news as I don't have time to follow up the actual threads beyond the f

RE: [Zope] ZCatalog Queries...

2000-07-21 Thread Albert Langer
For non-cacheable pages that can't be speeded up by a reverse proxy, there might be two other possibilities worth looking at as well. If Zbabel is mainly needed for the production/maintenance of translations rather than for really dynamic pages it might be possible to use ZMirror for semi-static

[AL] If you do find it, please pass on a strong recommendation to checkout the Coda file system included in FreeBSD. Coda has a LOT of research on how to do this stuff that would be relevant to "Quorum Based Replication". Sorry, I just noticed this message in passing and cannot follow up myself.

2000-07-18 Thread Albert Langer
[Andrew] Yes you can embed DTML inside the block and it will resolve all of the DTML before translating the result. You can turn this behaviour off. This is why I opted for a container tag, rather than a simple tag. [Albert] That is what I am still not clear on. Noticed the container, but still c

Thanks for "ZBabel". I've only just downloaded it and haven't played with it yet, but from just reading through, it looks like it will be a great approach! http://www.zope.org/Members/TheJester/ZBabel/ One thing I'm not clear on, which you might want to deal with in future releases, either by do
