Re: [Zope-dev] post publishing hook

... Open issues are: 1. what if there's an exception in the hook? I'd say log it but that's all.

I prefer: fail in the usual way.

2. what if there's a Conflicterror? That's tougher to deal with... The transaction has to be retried, without the user being aware of it, so it means the hook should probably be called *before* things are sent to the browser.

As you do it in the same transaction, you usually do it before anything is sent to the browser (unless someone uses "RESPONSE.write"). I would handle the post publishing hook identical to the main request action. -- Dieter
