attribute update during checkin of docuement using DFC.

Using DFC,can we able to change the meta data of the object while checking in the object.

iam using sysobject.save() method after checkin of object but meta data of object is not updating with new set of values,

but contente is updating and document is saving with next version numbers.

will the IDfCheckinOperation.execute method internally calls save method?

how this method IDfCheckinOperation.execute will work, how can we update the properties of object while checkin, using DFC?

thanks in advance.

Pay attention to checkin if you are checking in as new minor or major version the method returns the ID of the new version and this is the object you are going to update

When you checkout a document, there are two options to save the changes:

save, which overwrites the previous version
checkin, which creates a new minor or major version

From the point of view of the client (or user), both are called checkin, so that's a bit confusing. In any case, you will need to override both doSave() and doCheckin() methods (you should only override the methods called doXXX). Just set the attributes you want (without saving) and then call the super.doXXX methods. That should do it.

Please note that you can't change any attributes starting with r_ or i_. These will be set automatically by the Content Server (e.g. r_modify_date).
