I don't fully understand. This doesn't work, obviously:
[php]
	/**
	 * Date of last change (from Frontend)
	 *
	 * @var DateTime
	 */
	protected $lastChange = time();
[/php]

So I did this, after submitting data, before saving to db:
[php]
public function createAction(Tx_Extension_Domain_Model_Object $object) {
   $object->setLastChange(time());
}
[/php]

Is that good practise?
