Cross references between books

[Baruch Brodersen]

Callie,

We solved this problem by using a combination of Oracle (any database will
do), ColdFusion, and TimeSavers. Now though that sounds involved, it really
isn't that bad.

Oracle: table that contains the URL of the book file PDFs
ColdFusion: web page that call the PDF ID in the Oracle table
TimeSavers: shortcut links to the ColdFusion page with the Oracle ID
appended.

Thus using TimeSavers, links to other books points to a company intranet
ColdFusion URL object that calls the PDF's absolute URL, which in turn is
stored in the Oracle table. With this method, you can move your PDFs
wherever you want, and so long as you update the path in the Oracle table,
the links will continue to work.
