Deleting Nuxeo Document Permanently Programatically

SMAH_Haider — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 05:58:44 GMT

I am currently deleting a document from Nuxeo repository using the following code:


String myDocumentPath = // path to a folder		    
DocumentRef myFolderRef = new PathRef(documentPath);
if(aSession.exists(myFolderRef) && aSession.canRemoveDocument(myFolderRef ))
{				
aSession.removeChildren(myFolderRef);
}

All the files under the folder gets deleted successfully but not permanently. I was wondering if there is anyway I could delete documents permanently programatically including binaries on file system?

I dont want to wait for the Garbage collector to delete those binaries from file system after the retentions period.

Thanks.

Hi,

If you mean you'd like to clear the blobs, maybe documentation at http://doc.nuxeo.com/x/lAQz gives helpful information.

Success! I have been able to do it this way.


RepositoryStatus myRepositoryStatus = new RepositoryStatus();  
myRepositoryStatus.gcBinaries(true);

The method gcBinaries delete the binaries if flag passed to it is true. Otherwise it only returns the statistics about the binaries.

Thanks.
