Filter implementation in check-in 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 .bmp 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 postWebfileCreation filter,
I am getting server log properly but content is checked-in even the content doesnot matches required criteria.
Please help me out.
Thanks

Hey
I got a simple component working on my sandbox machine that rejects documents checked in that are over a pre-defined size.
I used the "validateStandard" event to attach to, and was able to get the filesize out based on the following code:
          String pFile = binder.getLocal("primaryFile");
          if(pFile == null || pFile.length() < 1)
               //NO primary File available
               SystemUtils.trace("system", "Unable to retrieve primaryFile from binder.. skip Filter");
               return CONTINUE;
          SystemUtils.trace("system", "Checking in " + pFile);
          File primaryFile = new File(pFile);
          if (!primaryFile.exists())
               SystemUtils.trace("system", "Could not load file.");
               return CONTINUE;
          long fileSize = primaryFile.length();
          if (fileSize >= 10000000) //10 meg
               throw new ServiceException("This document is too large: " + fileSize);
HTH.
Cheers,
