Re: Storing a document mid sequence. Can it be done?

Interesting,

Assuming you really need a "store", I won't be 
able to add too much more to what was said already.

I have a tendency though to name most of my steps.
Since most of my pipelines have multiple input ports and multiple output ports
and some forking and joining in the middle, I 
often like to have debug points in the middle of the sequences.
For that I simply use extra output ports for 
debugging purposes, having a p:pipe referencing the named steps

This way I get my debug states without the extra cost of an identity step.
And I can make the results more readable by giving serialization instructions
The Java around the processor (calabash in this 
case) binds the port in debugging mode and just drops it in production

Just in the process of learning myself, I wonder,
would that not be a more flexible approach over the using p:store?
Or do I miss something?

Cheers

Geert
