document id as a result of "add-document-to-index"

[thecat]

Hello,

Is it possible to get the document id after the call to "add-document-
to-index" ?
I need to store the id in a separate structure to easyly retrieve it
latter.

Thanks for your works on this project !

Storing the document ID outside of Montezuma isn't recommended. Please
see [http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_1_0/fileformats.html#Document
%20Numbers]

I would recommend generating an identifier which is unique for your
application and storing that as an additional field in each document.
