Just emitting an ObjectModifiedEvent like that is pretty useless, IMO.
With this you have no clue
- whether the object or the object's annotations were modified
- which properties of which schema were modified.
The good news is that the ObjectModifiedEvent API actually supports
this kind of stuff, you just need to use it:
info = Attributes(ITheSchema, 'foo', 'bar', 'blergh')
notify(ObjectModifiedEvent(obj, info))
(Attributes is importable from zope.lifecycleevent). Note that the
object must not necessarily provide ITheSchema, it could also be that
the ITheSchema(obj) adapter was changed (this is useful when sending
modified events for annotation adapters like IZopeDublinCore).
Very interesting - I never even knew you could do this :-)
All modifications made by the PROPPATCH will be done via the adapter
lookup you just mentioned so it is really nice that this is supported.
Unfortunately, not many places in Zope 3 itself are good examples of
this. In fact, not even formlib sends this extra information along
with the events, something I've been meaning to report and fix.
(Thanks for reminding me to do so :)).
Thanks for the tip, I will definitely update webdav to use it.
