016/**
017 * A proxy for a ClearCase symbolic link.
018 * <p>
019 * A VOB symbolic link is a separate, unversioned object. It contains a
020 * character string, the link text, in the form of a path name.
021 * </p>
022 * <p>
023 * Symbolic links are handled differently in web views vs. dynamic views.
024 * In web views, CM API operations typically resolve a symbolic links to their
025 * target files or directories.  Therefore, in web views proxies of this kind
026 * will only be created when such a target is unreachable.  In dynamic views,
027 * symbolic links are typically not resolved, and so will be seen in the CM API
028 * as CcSymlink resource proxies.
029 * </p>
