Hi Ted,

I 've done similar thing in my app where i captured data changes/updates
over to a third-party vendor.  The main flow is you save off the updated
data on EditingContextWillSaveChanges event notification and do your DIFF
on EditingContextDidSaveChanges event.

@Override
public void willUpdate() {
   NSDictionary diffs = this.changesFromSnapshot(this.
editingContext().committedSnapshotForObject(this));

   NSLog.out.appendln("  willUpdate()  diffs    " + diffs);
}

the log shows the attributes that were updated AFTER the saveChanges() is
called.

i am getting tired but I think this is harder than I was originally
thinking.

I am on a d2w edit page. I change the values of some attributes and press
the save button. it seems to me I need to do something when I press the
edit EO button. I need to create a copy of the original EO to compare
against. so that when the EO is actually saved, I can read that dictionary
of the original EO.

then in my didUpdate() method I could create the email that includes the
values of the original EO and the new updated values.
