Interface dkDatastoreExt

public interface dkDatastoreExt

Datastore extension interface for link management operations.

This interface extends dkExtension to provide link management capabilities for datastores. It defines operations for creating and removing relationships (links) between data objects in the content repository.

Link Operations:

• addLink: Creates a relationship between two data objects
• removeLink: Removes an existing relationship

Common Link Types:

• Folder-to-Document (filing/containment)
• Document-to-Document (custom relationships)
• Folder-to-Folder (hierarchical structure)

Usage Example:

 dkDatastoreExt datastoreExt = ...;
 DKLink link = new DKLink(sourceObject, targetObject);
 datastoreExt.addLink(link);  // Create relationship
 datastoreExt.removeLink(link);  // Remove relationship
