Delete specific document version

[horia]

Hi,

Is it possible to programatically delete a specific document version in Alfresco?

It seems you can only delete all versions of a doc (and the API is confusing, you have two methods that do the same thing, delete and deleteAllVersions)

Thanks

You can use 

org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.api.Session.delete(ObjectId,false) method 
‍‍‍

or

org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.api.Document.delete(false) method
‍‍‍

for example

         AlfrescoDocument document = (AlfrescoDocument) session
               .getObjectByPath("/TESTFOLDER1/20130822.doc");      
         List<Document> versions = document.getAllVersions();
         for(int i=0;i<versions.size();i++){
            Document version = versions.get(i);
            if("1.1".equals(version.getVersionLabel())){
               version.delete(false);
            }
         }

I have already pasted the example

         AlfrescoDocument document = (AlfrescoDocument) session.getObjectByPath("/TESTFOLDER1/20130822.doc");      
         List<Document> versions = document.getAllVersions();
         for(int i=0;i<versions.size();i++){
            Document version = versions.get(i);

            if("1.1".equals(version.getVersionLabel())){
               version.delete(false);
            }
         }
