Interface DeletableResource

All Superinterfaces:
Resource
All Known Subinterfaces:
DeletableCollectionResource, FileResource, FolderResource

public interface DeletableResource extends Resource
Implement this to allow your resource to be deleted by webdav clients. Milton will ensure there are no locks which prevent the delete, however the current user might have the resource locked in which case your implementation should permit the operation and remove the lock. Usually milton will recursively call delete on all children within a collection being deleted. However you can prevent this my implementing DeletableCollectionResource which causes milton to ONLY call delete on the specific resource being deleted. In which case it is your responsibility to test for locks on all child resources
