pre-processing for symmetry, right ? But how ?
Yes, I agree, pre processing makes sense as well. In order to have a
meaningfull pre and post processing, both phases should get a list of
changes that are intended to be done (pre) and are done (post). While
the pre processing can modify this list of changes, the post
processing can only do additional things.
I don't think that the list of actions is known upfront. Because this
list is built as the actions re executed. (Right now).
Yes, I know - but I think it could be possible to first generate the
list of changes and then apply them.
So preprocessing would probably mainly mean looking at the request
parameters and fiddle around with them before they are handed over to
the actual processing. Hmm, this sounds like validation, we once were
discussing (but dismissing).
:) Yes validation is one of the use cases here :)
