Hi guys,I have a new question. I passed most of my day on this problem and I'm out of solution. It's a little bit complexe but I will try to explain simply.So I had a node with rules. Rules are create programmaticaly when a specific association is create by a custom behavior. Those rules are not add

Which webscript api are you using?


org/alfresco/cmis/descendants.delete //this one will just delete the node and it's descendant without any check operations
org/alfresco/cmis/tree.delete  // this one will do some check before deleting folder an its descendant, it may cause your error(I guess you are using this one).
org/alfresco/cmis/item.delete   //this one just delete empty folder  if it has  more than one child,it cann't be deleted.

I'm using none of them, it's through share interface. I don't customize the delete action. And I add my rule and my behaviour on alfresco side with java api. But it's the same if I use the NodeService.delete() .

In share delete a node(file and folder) will call one of following webscript api


DELETE /alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib/action/file/site/{site}/{container}/{path}
DELETE /alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib/action/folder/site/{site}/{container}/{path}
DELETE /alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib/action/file/node/{store_type}/{store_id}/{id}
DELETE /alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib/action/folder/node/{store_type}/{store_id}/{id}
‍‍‍‍‍‍

which will call ScriptNode.remove() method and eventually call NodeService.delete() .So techinally delete the folder through share interface and NodeService.delete() will give you same result.

In NodeService.delete(),the specified node's all descendants,associations will be deleted in same transaction.Since rules applied to a folder are saved as it's descendants，and you may create associations between node and other nodes. I guess it may cause a close loop or someting that make it impossible to delete all descendants,associations in one transaction.

Thanks a lot kaynezhang for your help.

Yesterday I come to the same conclusion that it's a transaction problem and I think it come from my behavior.
I have absolutely no idea how to correct that problem. I think I have to manage transaction in my behavior.

Could you help me?
