[Yanel-dev] Yarep delete method

[Michael Wechner]

Hi

I have noticed that according to the API calling delete also is supposed 
to delete all children resp. also non-empty collections

src/core/java/org/wyona/yarep/core/Node.java

    /**
     * Deletes this node and all subnodes.
     * The root node cannot be deleted.
     * @throws RepositoryException if this node is the root node or if a 
repository error occurs.
     */
    public void delete() throws RepositoryException;


Shouldn't we introduce something like


delete(boolean recursive)

which would allow to block the deletion of non-empty collections when 
being set to delete(false)

?

This would corrspond to rm -r

WDYT?

Cheers

Michi
