From GSH or API you can call stem.obliterate() in 2.0.2+

Its not exposed over WS which we could if people need that.  It isn’t all that convenient so that people don’t accidentally do bad things…  J

 

Thanks,

Subject: [grouper-dev] Recursive Stem deletion

 

Hi,

I was wondering if there was an easy way to delete a stem with children under it and delete the child objects too ? From what I see in Stem.delete() there’s a validation to prevent deleting a Stem with childs (groups or stem), why is that ? Is it because you couldn’t validate that the session/user had the necessary rights to delete all the child objects?

 

I can create a little bit of code that would do the recursive find and delete using a RootSession for our tests, but I was wondering why it wasn’t included in the Stem class directly ?

 

Our current use case is easy cleaning of tests and temp data, but maybe in the future it could be useful for other tasks.

 

Thanks
