Description
This extension provides for a subclass of cmis:item called
cmis:symbolicLink. An object of type cmis:symbolicLink has properties
referenceId and disableDereferencing. The property referenceId specifies
an object Id or latest accessible state identifier. When the Id of a
symbolic link item is specified in a service request, the referenceId
property of the item may be used instead of the specified symbolic link Id.
The replacement of the symbolic link Id with another Id is called
dereferencing. When dereferencing is performed, it is recursive: if the
referenceId of a symbolic link item is itself the Id of a symbolic link
item, then that symbolic link Id is also dereferenced. If a dereferencing
cycle is detected, a cmis:invalidArgument exception is thrown. The
disableDereferencing property is a Boolean property that specifies whether
dereferencing is to be disabled for the symbolic link. Disabling
dereferencing allows one to set and to update the properties of the
symbolic link itself rather than the properties of the object referenced by
the symbolic link.
