“Digital Creations announced today increased
interoperability between its Open Source Zope application server
and Microsoft platforms using open standards. An early 2000
Zope release will include support for two protocols heavily
supported by Microsoft, the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
and Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV)
protocol.”
“Zope is the leading Open Source application server for content
management and portals,” says Paul Everitt, CEO of Digital
Creations. “Our customers and community gain tremendously when Zope
and Microsoft applications communicate in a rich way. We are
pleased to aggressively support these open standards that Microsoft
has taken the lead on.”
“To build integrated e-commerce applications you must be able to
connect different Web services together easily and quickly using
Internet standards such as HTTP and XML,” stated John Montgomery,
product manager in Microsoft’s Developer Division. “Digital
Creations’ support for SOAP and WebDAV in Zope will help
organizations integrate a truly diverse set of applications and
services.”
