Grok root-level views

Sometimes you just want to have something sit at http://localhost:8080/ -- and not get automatically redirected to the applications form / admin interface.

Register your module in the context of 'IRootFolder' and provide the 'defaultView' name 'index.html' on any of its view classes.


=== rootlevelviews.py ===import grok
from zope.app.folder.interfaces import IRootFolder
grok.context(IRootFolder)
class Index(grok.View):
    grok.name('index.html')=========================

That's one method of doing it, there might be others too.

I'm confused by this example. What is it that you want to do? Just register a couple of views on the root object? If so, then why keep the 'grokdev' class around?
