That's exactly what my proposal wants to achieve. If you need finer control the pluggable modifier is the right place to introduce whatever you want. Besides special events you can add hooks, introduce type specific adapters etc. All we need at the moment (at least for cataloging and versioning) is the certainty that all relevant modifications are going through the same replaceable component. Everything else can be implemented later on. As far as I understand Zope3's catalog implementation most indexes use a interface + attribute specification, which a ValueChangedEvent could provide. The "BetterModifier" in my proposal sends these infos in addition to an unspecific modified event and thus should be sufficient for most purposes. One problem I see is that different schema adapters can use the same slots for different fields. To solve this problem one could probably use object annotations to store footprints of the involved indexes and their relationships. But again the modification component would be the right place to evaluate these annotations. -- Uwe _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
