[Zope] Automatically run an external method?

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

I agree that this is (or event triggers in general are) a useful soft of
thing.  

I think one thing that will eventually come out of
ComponentArchitecture/Zope3X efforts will be the service-ization of such
infrastrucuture as a standard component of Zope the way that workflow is a
standard component of the CMF...

Yes, a file modified through the web interface and saved to the
ZODB. For example, something like a DTML Document.

The idea is that the document is a configuration/information file,
and the external method will take this and process it to generate
an output file.

Seems like this could be a useful model in general for solving
problems. (input-process-output, triggered by a change in input).
