Hi Eric,

as Martin says... the @PostsPropertyChangedEvent is deprecated, similarly
so are @PostsCollectionAddedToEvent, @PostsCollectionRemovedFromEvent,
@ActionInvokedEvent.

Instead they have been replaced by the more powerful @PropertyInteraction,
@CollectionInteraction and @ActionInteraction annotations.  The primary
difference is that these new annotations cause an event to be fired not
just once after-the-fact, but in fact FIVE times: hide, disable, validate,
executing (before) and executed (after).

The hide/disable/validate allow the subscriber to effectively veto the
interaction: a very powerful concept.   In Estatio for example we use
subscribers to veto the deletion of an object that has dependent entities
(makes for better error messages than a referential integrity error thrown
up by the DBMS).

For each of these annotations you can either use the generic event or
create a subclass.  The latter allows the subscribers to be more targeted.

For an example of using the generic events (with a property), see [1], [2]
For an example of using the specific events (with an action), see [3], [4]
