Interface IInternalLinkResource

[contained in: com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf.par - bc.rf.framework_api.jar]

public interface IInternalLinkResource

Extended interface for internal link resources.

Two types of links are supported:

1) static links behave like symbolic links in POSIX: there is no live connection to the link target, links may be relative and may point to non-existing targets.

2) dynamic links can only be created for an existing target resource, and "follow" this target resource automatically upon MOVE/RENAME, and disappear when the target is deleted or moved to a different target repository. Note that in general, dynamic links do not work across repository boundaries.
