Subject: RE: Working resources in basic versioning
From: "Tim Ellison/OTT/OTI" <Tim_Ellison@oti.com>
Assume you are a basic versioning client. If you perform a checkout to
create a working resource and then issue a delete to remove it from a
collection, what would the steps be to uncheckout the working resource.
Do
we have any way of finding that working resource again?
<geoff>
When you issue a "DELETE", you are actually deleting the versioned
resource from the collection that contains it. If that is the last
binding to that versioned resource, that versioned resource and all of
its working resources are now inaccessible.
If there still is a binding to that versioned resource, you can ask
the versioned resource for its DAV:working-resource-id-set, and then
find the working resource that way.
</geoff>
But if you have a stable URL to a revision of the versioned resource, then
I would assume it is good 'for all time' -- since the namespace of the
stable URL is effectively outside that of the dynamic URLs.
I still don't understand all the characteristics of a stable URL -- or what
it represents.
