Listeners: What are listeners?

The concept of listeners provides users with a mechanism to perform custom actions, in response to operations taken in a session. The listener implements an interface whose methods are called when a particular action is executed on an entity or querying is run.

There are five types of available listeners:

• Document Conflict listeners (IDocumentConflictListener),
• Document Conversion listeners (IDocumentConversionListener)
• Document Delete listeners (IDocumentDeleteListener)
• Document Store listeners (IDocumentStoreListener)
• Document Query listeners (IDocumentQueryListener)

In order to add new listener you must register it in DocumentStore:

store.getListeners().registerListener(new SampleDocumentStoreListener());

You can also set all your listeners at once by the following method:

DocumentSessionListeners listeners = new DocumentSessionListeners();
listeners.registerListener(new SampleDocumentDeleteListener());
listeners.registerListener(new SampleDocumentStoreListener());
store.setListeners(listeners);
