Clarification on CmisService.deleteObjectOrCancelCheckOut

Hi Chemistry guys,

 

I have a question regarding how to properly implement "CmisService.deleteOrCancelCheckOut(...)".

 

When using AtomPub binding, this method can be called for two reasons:

1/ deleting a document

2/ cancelling the checkout of a PWC

 

>From what I understand, if the target object is a PWC (a versionable document that is checked-out), then the checkout has to be cancelled, otherwise the document must be deleted.

That seems pretty clear when the parameter "allVersions" is set to false.

 

But now, what if "allVersions " is set to true:

1/ if the object is not a PWC, all versions must be deleted - OK

2/ if the object is a PWC, what is the expected behavior ? Deleting all versions as well ?

Regards,

If it's a PWC then deleteOrCancelCheckOut maps to the operation cancelCheckOut in the domain model, which doesn't have an "allVersions" parameter, so you should ignore it and just cancel the checkout.

If it's a PWC then deleteOrCancelCheckOut maps to the operation
cancelCheckOut in the domain model, which doesn't have an
"allVersions" parameter, so you should ignore it and just cancel the
checkout.
