Hmm. Not really, although the pieces are there to put something like that together. If I were going to do it, I'd probably code it up as a simple additional web page in FlexWiki. Maybe something like NameResolver.aspx. I'd have the page return an XML result. Then you could do lookups by hitting a URL like http://your.server.com/wiki/NameResolver.aspx?input=FooBar, parse the result into an XML document, and look to see what the answer was. (This is essentially a small REST-style web service.) This would have the advantage of running in the FlexWiki web application, which means all the setup required by the FlexWiki engine is already done for you. The key class you want to become familiar with is the one called LinkMaker. Make sense? If you decide to pursue this route, feel free to ask questions here on the list, of course (no need to email me personally). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
