How to delete a workspace

[Martin Perez <mp...@gmail.com>]

Creating a workspace is a very easy task, but how can a jackrabbit workspace
be deleted programatically?

Thanks.

Well, for me is indispensable :D, because my users can create/delete
workspaces theirselves.

But, don't worry, I'll do some hack to directly delete the directories. I
hope that doing this does not cause inconsistencies.

don't worry martin. your suggestion would indeed be a trivial solution.
'disabling' a workspace could also be accomplished with access control
(by denying access to a given workspace for everyone).

i thought you meant physically removing a workspace and all its content
which IMO would be non-trivial to implement properly.

workspace management is something that will be addressed in jsr-283.
jackrabbit will sooner or later support programmatic workspace removal.
i don't think that it will make it into jackrabbit version 1.0 though (unless
a lot of people deem it an indispensible 1.0 feature of course).

Hi Stefan.

Is this support planned? For me, it seems a clear TODO. Maybe a fast
solution could be tag the workspace as "deleted" and then modify the
login/get repositories list methods.

Well, who knows. I'm talking being relatively new to jackrabbit. So forgive
me, if what I'm saying is not so trivial.

Regards.

currently there's no programmatic way to do that, sorry. the reason is that it
would be quite complicated to implement it properly, just think of
access control
& versioning issues.
