Quick Start: Deleting a resource using the Java API

The following Java code example deletes a resource called testResourceToBeDeleted in the repository.

import java.util.*;

import com.adobe.idp.dsc.clientsdk.ServiceClientFactory;

import com.adobe.repository.bindings.dsc.client.ResourceRepositoryClient;

import com.adobe.repository.infomodel.*;

import com.adobe.repository.infomodel.bean.*;

import com.adobe.repository.RepositoryException;

import com.adobe.idp.Document;

public class DeleteResource {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		// This example will delete a resource from the LiveCycle ES repository.

		// First, a resource will be created and written to the repository.

		// That resource will then be deleted from the repository.

		try 

		{

			// Set the LiveCycle ES service connection properties

			Properties connectionProps = new Properties();

			connectionProps.setProperty("DSC_DEFAULT_SOAP_ENDPOINT", "http://localhost:8080");

			connectionProps.setProperty("DSC_TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL", "SOAP");

			connectionProps.setProperty("DSC_SERVER_TYPE", "JBoss");

			connectionProps.setProperty("DSC_CREDENTIAL_USERNAME", "administrator");

			connectionProps.setProperty("DSC_CREDENTIAL_PASSWORD", "password");

			// Create the service client factory

			ServiceClientFactory myFactory = ServiceClientFactory.createInstance(connectionProps);

			// Create a ResourceRepositoryClient object using the service client factory

			ResourceRepositoryClient repositoryClient = new ResourceRepositoryClient(myFactory);

			// Create a RepositoryInfomodelFactoryBean needed for creating resources

			RepositoryInfomodelFactoryBean repositoryInfomodelFactory = new RepositoryInfomodelFactoryBean(null);

			// Specify the URI of the target folder for writing the resource

			String testFolderUri = "/testFolder";

			// Create the resource to be written to the folder

			Resource testResource = repositoryInfomodelFactory.newResource(

				new Id(), 

				new Lid(), 

				"testResourceToBeDeleted"

			);

			// Set the resource’s description

			testResource.setDescription("test resource to be deleted");

			// Write the resource to the folder

			repositoryClient.writeResource(testFolderUri, testResource);

			// Retrieve the resource’s URI

			String resourceUri = testFolderUri + "/" + testResource.getName();

			// Retrieve the resource to verify that it was successfully written

			Resource r = repositoryClient.readResource(resourceUri);

			// Print the resource verification message

			System.out.println("Resource " + resourceUri + " was successfully written.");

			// Delete the resource

			repositoryClient.deleteResource(resourceUri);

			// Verify that the resource has been deleted 

			try {

				// Attempt to read the nonexistent resource,

				// which will cause an exception if the resource was deleted.

				Document d = repositoryClient.readResourceContent(resourceUri);

			} catch (RepositoryException re) {

				// Indicate successful deletion

				System.out.println("Resource " + resourceUri + " was successfully deleted.");

			}

		} catch (Exception e) {

			System.out.println(

				"Exception thrown while trying to delete the resource" +

				e.getMessage()

			);

		}

	}
