RE: Cocoon for persistent URLs

[I-Lin Kuo]

That's what I was thinking, more or less. I'd have a monitoring application check URLs once a day and generate emails if the files were moved or modified. But I was wondering if there were other approaches...

There's also the contract issue of what a persistentURL promises: does it merely promise that there will always be some file at that URL, or does it promise it's always going to be the same file at that URL?

don't know how one would keep track of moved files automatically, but the
resource exists action could help with the first part. you could keep a
lookup table in database or xml with old location and new location and use
it to lookup new location when resource exists action fails.
