Abstract:
This paper compares several features between J2EE and Zope technologies. Both technologies have individual strength and will be appropriate in individual contexts. In choosing a development environment or technology for web applications, a criterion is needed to assess the available development technologies. In order to do this comparison, we have designed a web-based prototype for "managing research information" and implemented the prototype in both technologies. We have compared several key features in both technologies including content managements, session handling, safe delegation, security, and testing facilities. The comparison in this paper forms a basis for making choices for web development technology for academia and industry.
