Retrieve the URI of a Document

A connector's GetUri action takes a document identifier and returns a URI for the document in the repository.

The ConnectorBase class defines the entry point for this action:

       public void GetUri(IGetUriTask task)

To implement the GetUri action, override the GetUri function in your derived connector implementation class. For example, within the MyConnector class that extends ConnectorBase:

        override public void GetUri(IGetUriTask task)
        {
            IDocInfo doc = task.Doc;
            String reference = doc.Identifier.Reference;
            task.Uri = reference;
        }

This example returns the reference of the document as the URI (be aware that the reference and URI are usually not the same). A typical implementation would use the reference and identifier properties to retrieve or construct the full URI of the document in the repository where the document resides. If the document does not exist in the repository or the identifier properties are invalid, throw an exception to indicate failure.
