[jira] [Created] (SLING-2415) Ability to delete child nodes,
without deleting the parent node in SlingPostServlet
Ability to delete child nodes, without deleting the parent node in SlingPostServlet
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-2415
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2415
Project: Sling
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Servlets
Reporter: Chaitanya Atreya
Provide a way to delete all the child nodes of a given node in the SlingPostServlet, without deleting the parent node itself.
There are many situations where one might want to delete only the child nodes, while keeping the parent node intact.
One way to do this now is to use the :applyTo request parameter for each child node. However, this requires first fetching all the child nodes, which can be avoided with this feature.

------------------------------------
A wildcard as the last segment of the applyTo value makes sense to me. I'll implement and add a few tests.

---------------------------------------
I was just asking if this comes up a lot.
How about :applyTo=* = delete all children?

Eric Norman resolved SLING-2415.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: Servlets Post 2.1.2
Added ability to match all child nodes for the :applyTo parameter by using '*' as the last segment of the value. This applies to the delete, move and copy operations.
Please verify this does what you need.

Chaitanya Atreya commented on SLING-2415:
-----------------------------------------
In general, a RESTful parent node could have a sling:resourceType or other useful metadata that one wouldn't want to lose. However, in order to delete all its children, the only way is to delete the parent node as well (thus losing the sling:resourceType and a possible rendering of this parent page), which will then have to be recreated to bring the system back to normalcy. There surely must be a better way than this.
