[Zope-CMF] WorkflowMethod

[Mark McEahern]

For my portal types, I assume I should have an edit() method and that it
should be wrapped as a WorkflowMethod(), but I'm really not sure what
exactly this buys me.  My portal types aren't anything fancy.  Things like
PressRelease, Contact, etc.

I've looked at the source for CMFCore/WorkflowCore.py and WorkflowTool.py.

I think the reason to use WorkflowMethod() is that I want to make it
possible to trigger workflow stuff when the edit() method is called.  I may
not know, when authoring the content type, what sort of workflow will be
designed for the object--but I can reasonably assume that edit()'ing the
object is likely to be significant to workflow.

Can someone confirm or improve my explanation?  I'm just trying to
understand.

Thanks,
