What about deleting versions ?

Hello all,

First of all I want to say that you, folks, are doing a great job with
Jackrabbit !
I have a short question: when I delete a versionable node, does JR
automatically delete all node's versions ?
If not, how can I delete the remaining orphan versions.

Thanks and regards,

Dan Damian

No.

Use the VersionHistory.removeVersion() method.

Once you've removed all past versions and there are no remaining
references to the version history, Jackrabbit (since version 1.6.0,
see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-134) will automatically
remove also the version history node from /jcr:system.

BR,
