Abstract
In the electronic age, World Wide Web, IntraNet and Webware are becoming key concepts in the way we read, write, and deliver information services. In most cases some enterprises are taking advantage of them by using Corporate Web-based Systems, to scatter and to share structured documentation. Nevertheless, preserving the link integrity of a document repository is one of crucial problems. Precisely, whenever documents’ links are modified, the potential risk to destroy the record of a linked text occurs. An unwanted problem is the “Error: 404 file not found”. In this paper, we focus on this issue and we try to remedy this shortcoming. We believe that by enhancing the Web Server capabilities (e.g., monitor of events, processor of events and trigger components), we can provide an active mechanism for the link integrity management. This study compared with existed approaches proposes a solution based on active functionalities.
