CheckIn content

Question

Hi,
I want to use filter which will check the file extension, size and comments (should not be null ) before check-in.
If the file size is less than 50mb or extension is .txt or comment is null then the filter will not allow to check-in.
I am using CHECKIN_NEW service and then checking XCOMMENTS fields in validateStandard filter, but its not working.
Please help me out.
Thanks

Answer 1

like in your other post; your filter occurs only AFTER checkin (but before the document is released)
So this will never work. After seeing your code I have some other comments:
- if xComments is Null your code will throw a NullPointerException, try it as follows (this is how you should check for an empty string)
String xComments = binder.getLocal( "xComments" );
if ( xComments == null || xComments.length() == 0 ) {
   // null or empty string
}- you can't check for null by doing a equalsIgnoreCase( "null" ), especially because if IdcService is Null it'll throw a null pointer before that, use the following instead
String idcService = binder.getLocal( "IdcService" );
if ( idcService == null ) {
   // now you know idcService is Null
}- don't try to do a delete of a revision inside this filter, it makes no sense, use the right filter (and the way you do it doesn't work)
- if you do a equals(), do it on the String literal (to make sure no NullPointerException is thrown):
// so instead of
boolean isEqualToSysadmin = dDocAuthor.equals( "sysadmin" ); // in this case when dDocAuthor is Null, a NullPointerException is thrown
// do:
boolean isEqualToSysadmin = "sysadmin".equals( dDocAuthor ); // in this case when dDocAuthor is Null, isEqualToSysadmin = falseregards,
