CMIS delete doesn't delete from version and archive stores

We have Alfresco community edition 5.2.0. I do not think this version supports Rest API endpoints.
My objective is to purge documents by a specific metadata property. I am trying to accomplish this using CMIS. This objectIdString is the UUID of the active store object.

CmisObject cmisObject = cmisSession.getObject(objectIdString); //With this I tried: Document document = (Document) cmisObject; document.deleteAllVersions(); //Also tried cmisObject.delete(true);

If I add the aspect 'P:sys:temporary' and update its properties, before deleting the document, then once deleted, the document (node) is gone from the active and version2 stores, and also it does not get put into the archive store. Glad the alfresco repository that I am working with supports this aspect. Saved lots of time. Code snippet is like shown below.

public void makeTheDocumentTemporary(CmisObject docObject) { Property<Object> secondaryTypes = docObject.getProperty("cmis:secondaryObjectTypeIds"); List<Object> aspects = (secondaryTypes != null) ? secondaryTypes.getValues() : null; if (aspects == null) { aspects = new ArrayList<Object>(); } else { aspects = new ArrayList<Object>(aspects); // Defensive copy } if (!aspects.contains("P:sys:temporary")) { aspects.add("P:sys:temporary"); } HashMap<String, Object> props = new HashMap<String, Object>(); props.put("cmis:secondaryObjectTypeIds", aspects); try { docObject.updateProperties(props); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("Error updating aspect properties: " + e.getMessage()); } }
