Conclusion and Summation

Final notes and a summation of this exercise.

ArgoUML and ArchGenXML

Using ArchGenXML and ArgoUML to model your business object and process is a great short cut in your Plone development.  There's no round trip support, so changes made after code generation cannot be pulled back into your UML, and major changes to the code will be overwritten on subsequent code generations.  Though, if you code carefully and RTFM (ArchGenXML's that is), you should be able to preserve most of your changes to minimize merging.

Permissions and Scripting

The Plone/Zope access control is fine grained and complex, and very powerful.  And once you get the hang of it you can all kinds of useful things.  The anonymous access example here is rudementary at best.  =)
