Hello. Please, forgive me if this topic was discussed before. I searched on the mailing list but I did not find any references.
Currently, in our product, we were discussing about the implementation of logical deletes. We are interesting in offering support for logical delete operations for documents. This could be very necessary in some scenarios due to legal issues. For example, in Europe some document types (for example invoices) cannot be deleted and must be maintained on their storage for several years. So, when an user deletes this documents the system should be able to keep a copy. Well, this is only the background. We have implemented this in a very simple way: adding an active property to all trackable nodes. Pretty easy. But now we have a problem. Our system, successfully hides "deleted" documents to the users, but when an user will try to use the WebDAV browser (we are using the contrib module) he will see the "deleted" documents, because for Jackrabbit they are normal nodes. So, my question is, does it have any sense to allow to tag nodes as hidden on a Jackrabbit repository? I know that is something that is not reflected on the spec. Anyways, do you think is an interesting feature for futurible releases? Also, what about supporting logical delete operations? Martin
