Creating Zope Applications


A Zope application is simply a collection of Zope objects that solves a particular problem.

To illustrate the use of Zope applications, we will use a very simple website application. The simple website application, in this example, consists of a folder (Figure 20 ) containing an index_html DTML Method (Figure 21 ) and a logo. The source code of the index_html DTML Method uses several properties that are defined in the folder (Figure 22 ). When the Home folder is visited by a browser, the index_html DTML Method is rendered to display the home page shown in Figure 23 .
