------------------------------------------------------------------
FWIW, this connector is not mine, and it looks like this behavior is
intentional; the contributor wanted a "grave marker" to be left behind to allow
them to synchronize with other systems:
{code}
// Null it out!
try
{
output = new FileOutputStream(outputPath);
break;
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
// Probably some other error
errorCode = e.getClass().getSimpleName().toUpperCase(Locale.ROOT);
errorDesc = "Couldn't delete the file due to:" + e.getMessage();
throw new ManifoldCFException("Could not zero out file
'"+outputPath+"': "+e.getMessage(),e);
}
}
// Just close it, to make a zero-length grave marker.
output.close();
{code}
For backwards compatibility reasons, you'd therefore want to add specification
information to the connector describing how you want deletions to be handled,
which is basically a significant enhancement to the connector, so I would ask
if this is really something you need or just something you don't like.

> Key: CONNECTORS-1534
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1534
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: File system connector
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.10
> Reporter: James Thomas
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Priority: Major
>
> In https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1532 I observed that
> deleting a file from a repository does not (reliably?) delete it from a File
> System output. Instead the output file remains but is given zero size and a
> new modification time.
> I would expect that a file deletion in the repository results in file
> deletion in the output.
