Web Services Stack on Zope Platform

Distributed computing has always been a challenge in terms of bringing disparate systems together to enhance the user experience. Web Services has gained popularity as a means for achieving interoperability between dissimilar systems. Zope is an Open Source Web application server that features plug-ins for content management, portals, collaboration, Intranet, eCommerce, and custom applications. Building enterprise-class applications using Zope brings in the need for interoperability with other technologies but the Zope infrastructure does not support Web Services. This paper describes the product developed in Python language, which provides support for Web Services technologies such as Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Web Services Description Language (WSDL) on the Zope infrastructure platform.
