ResolveLink Method

Retrieves the destination of a symbolic link.

Syntax

public String resolveLink(String linkName, boolean normalize);

Remarks

This method retrieves the destination pointed to by the symbolic link specified by LinkName.

The value passed for LinkName must be a vault-local absolute path.

As the CreateLink method's documentation describes, symbolic links can be created with either relative or absolute vault-local paths. The Normalize parameter specifies whether the component should normalize the specified link's destination before returning it. Passing true will ensure a vault-local absolute path is always returned; passing false will cause the original destination path to be returned.

Note: This method can only be called when Active is true.
