Content Server - get content of document being checked in

Question

Hi,
Is is possible to get the content of the document being checked-in via Java? Assuming I want to have a component which performs some action on the document being checked in, before this document is checked in. Is there some way to read the content of the document?

Hi Jiri,
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. From what I understand I just need to get the path to the document and then open it via Java. I believe sth like this does the trick:
String docPath = binder.get("primaryFile:path");
From my understanding there is this "vault" folder which holds the content server's files, revisions, temp files etc... Using the above code should work ok, but I understood that the CS can be told to save its files into some data base instead of the "vault" folder, in which case the above code won't be useful...
I assume in this case reading the document is done in some other way...
So, should I conclude that there is no general/abstract way of reading the document being checked-in which doesn't take into consideration the underlying structure which keeps the CS's files(vault or DB)?
Thanks,
V
