Self-publishing a deleted page will make the page disappear even if the 
publication fails.

                 Key: MAGNOLIA-3456
                 URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-3456
             Project: Magnolia
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: activation, admininterface
    Affects Versions: 4.4.1, 4.4
            Reporter: Danilo Ghirardelli
            Assignee: Philipp Bärfuss


This is something stupid I did, but I want to report it anyway because maybe it 
is just the symptom of a  bigger issue.
This happens on Magnolia 4.4 and 4.4.1, with or without workflow module. Steps 
to reproduce:
- change the active subscriber to the same instance in use (making Magnolia 
pointing to itself)
- delete a page (you'll see the new icon and such)
- publish the change
The publication fails (as expected), but the deleted page is gone.

Making an instance point to itself is just stupid and pointless, I know, and 
it's not something you should usually do. Until the previous version any 
activation would just do almost nothing (or fail sometimes), and any 
de-activation would simply fail (it's quite obvious). With the new version I 
would expect a similar behaviour, but the deleted page is gone even if the 
activation failed.
By the way, I may expect that self-publishing a deleted page would really 
delete the page, I do not expect that the page is gone after a failure... The 
question may be: what to do with an authoring error happened after the page was 
succesfully deleted on the public machine? If the activation should be 
considered transactional, should the page be restored on the public machine in 
case of an authoring error after deletion?
