Some analisys sessions in various organizations where LogicalDOC was adopted, reported that it would be useful to add some kind of logic during the document storage procedure.<br>
For example a common need is to have a customizable numeration of inserted documents.
The idea is to define a new extension point in the core plug-in that can be extended by custom plug-ins in order to provide specific logic before and after a document is saved into the database.

Basically if a client wants to interact with the store procedure it must implement an interface like this:
<source lang="java" line="1">
public interface DocumentListener {
/**
* Called before a document is stored in the database
*
* @param document The document to be stored
* @param dictionary Dictionary of the execution pipeline
*/
public void beforeStore(Document document, Map<String, Object> dictionary);

/**
* Called after a document is stored in the database
*
* @param document The document to be stored
* @param dictionary Dictionary of the execution pipeline
*/
public void afterStore(Document document, Map<String, Object> dictionary);
}
</source>
<br>
Each time a document is stored, all enlisted listeners are notified and each listener can do a particular job. A convenient dictionary map can be passed through the execution chain so that one listener can share informations with others.
The extension point must define the implementation class and a position so that this can be used to choose the right notification order.
