[opencms-dev] What is more permanent, Path to resource, Structure UUID or Resource UUID?

[Asger K. Jensen]

Hi,

I am building a system to allow an external e-commerce system to link / fetch resources from OpenCMS.

I would like to know what the best identifier to store in the external system would be. My intuition tells me it should be the Structure UUID, but
I am not sure if this identifier gets changed under certain circumstances (moving a page, renaming a page, etc etc).

So, right now my candidates are either


-          Root Path to content (/sites/default/etc/etc/etc/etc) – will certainly break if user renames item, or moves it.

-          Structure UUID

-          Resource UUID (which I presume is a reference to the *physical content* rather than the *logical content*, correct?

Hope someone can offer up some insights.

Thanks in advance

Med venlig hilsen/Best Regards
