Hi guys,

i dont know if this is the right forum for raising this kind of ideas - =
forgive me if its not. I was thinking about an event based model for the =
application servers like zope which would make life easier for the =
programmers. Just like the db triggers, mouse events etc....it would be =
great if a web server would include triggers internally like - page =
closed, page opened, page validation, object start, object destroy, and =
so on.... just thinking if anyone else has done anything like this - is =
this even a valid model for the web model.

I feel this would greatly simplify programming because if the =
programmers had to just trap the events and do the relevant coding for =
that then there could truly be a Rapid Web development Tools and Rapid =
prototyping etc which would also bring greater speed to the development =
cycle itself overall on the web.

Any ideas ? What do you guys say ? Can Zope be extended this way by =
implementing a layer within zope that raises these triggers and letting =
the programmers trap these events ? Any plans ?

Well just shooting off some ideas - pardon me if it sounds stupid.

regards
bobby
