You could add a behavior to node creation. I haven't done it yet but I know its possible. Check out this package org.alfresco.repo.policy in the sdk and chapter 3 in the Alfresco Developer book. I think that chapter deals with working with content programatically. Let us know how far you go.

I would like to reactivate this post.
I currently use the http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Antivirus implementation.
The best simple way to activate this antivirus action is by using an Alfresco rule.
So, I put a rule at "Sites" level that is called on docnumen creation and update and when the "content of type" is equal to "content".

This is working perfectly for documents that are uploaded in document library (I am using share interface).
BUT this has the effect to generate a crash when creating something in "calendar" for example.

Does somebody know how to restrict a rule for document nodes that are only in the document library ?

Thank you.
