Hi,

Let's say you have a file A.txt that has been checked out. Then you also have a file A(working copy).txt. As soon as this working copy is updated, you loose the name of the local file that has been used for the update : this information is lost.

I think that a better solution would be to control that the names of the local file and the Alfresco node are the same when an update of the working copy is done.

Hi mlagneaux,

Sure, you are right and this is what I want to do but the thing is that I don't really know where this verification can be done. If you take a look at the <a href="https://github.com/Alfresco/community-edition/blob/master/projects/repository/source/java/org/alfresco/repo/coci/CheckOutCheckInServiceImpl.java">org.alfresco.repo.coci.CheckOutCheckInServiceImpl.java</a>, you will see that the BeforeCheckIn is called before to copy the content of the WorkingCopy back into the Original Node… I don't know where does the content of the local file is copied to the WorkingCopy node.

Regards,
Morgan

Hi,

Maybe you can use the ContentServicePolicies#OnContentUpdatePolicy or NodeServicePolicies#OnUpdateNodePolicy and link your behaviour to the working copy aspect.
