I want to start a thread about Default Event Types. Event Types, as you know are a ModelGlue:3 feature for defining behavior under an Event Type and assigning those Event Types to your Event Handlers. (lost? Read here: http://docs.model-glue.com/wiki/HowTos/HowToUseTypedEvents#HowToUseTypedEvents)
A discussion came up in the MG BOF at CFObjective about a default event type. Presently there is no such functionality and some members of the audience felt it was a good idea, though there has yet to be a consensus on how it works. Let's start the discussion with the following two questions. 1) Should there be a Default Event Type? 2) Model-Glue 3 allows for an event handler to have multiple event types. This means the Default Event Type should technically stay with the Event-Handler regardless if the Event-Handler has other Event Types. If this is the case, how does a Default Event Type differ from adding logic to OnRequestStart? If not, and the Default Event Type vanishes if a specific type is set for a specific Event Handler, what would the usage be? The Model-Glue mailing list is full of very smart people, so let's get the initial ideas out there and we'll work on refining them as we go along. Your input appreciated.
