Doclink path translations

10 properties for doclink path translations are provided. However, you can add properties to the MaxProp table by using property maintenance. The LinkedDocumentInfo class loads the properties that it finds. The LinkedDocumentInfo class reads doclink properties to get path translations.

You can specify the property value as the native operating system path + "=" + http translation. The <PATH> tag is used in the properties file, and because of problems in specifying the : character, the : character is permitted in the database.

The table provides an example of properties for doclink path translations.
