Re: right place to watch for modofication to an attribute?



Thanks! I'm reasonably new to this source base. I'm looking, but don't see any references to anything like this anywhere. Could you point me at an example?

You might try specifying the modify with a post-read control.

I need to reread some data from the database when it's changed. Currently, I'm trying to do this in do_modify() by:

1) check to see if it's the desired attribute that was changed. This part works fine
2) if (1) is true, then at the end of the do_modify() function (just before returning), call my new function to read the data that I'm interested in. This seems to have several problems:


calling be_entry_get_rw() here gives me back the previous values for the attribute in question, sort of. it seems to be missing one of the attribute values, too, and the one that I changed has the old value still.

So, obviously, this is not a good place to try to do the read. My question is, is anyone else doing something like this, and where is a good place to do a read on data-change like this?

Thanks!
