Stopping the physical removal of empty folders...

Hi All-

I've been using slide for some time now with a FileStore
(linux) and a J2EE 
Store (backed by an Oracle DB).

Currently when I delete all the files from a folder, the
physical folder is 
removed from the file system. This is ok for most of my
folders, but I have 
a few specific cases where if a folder has no files in it, I
still need the 
folder to exist on the file system...

Short from adding a file that can't be deleted to the
folder, how can I 
keep certain folders from ever being deleted once they have
been created...?

Does the recursive delete happen in the content store? or is
it a result of 
some other action?

any info on where to start looking would be greatly
appreciated..


Thanks

Jeff

Hello Jeff,

 Are you using ACLs feature? It would be easy to do what you
want by denying
write permissions to the folder you want to protect.

Hope this helps,
Miguel Figueiredo

Thanks for getting back to me..

I am using ACL's to control access but I'm not sure that
will help..

The real problem isn't that the user has access to delete
the folder, that 
part is done. The problem is that when all the files in the
folder are 
gone, the folder is still present in the metadata slide
keeps, so it shows 
up accessing it, but it isn't present on the underlying file
system. The 
folder in question is required to be present on the file
system for 
external applications..

If there is at least one file in the folder all is well,
remove all the 
files and slide removes the folder from the file system
because its empty 
but to the slide end user it appears as if it still
exists...

Hello Jeff,

 That is an interesting behavior which I was not expecting.
It should be
implementation specific of the TxStore all right, although I
never looked
into that code.
