Hi Pavel,
By default the DSpace implementation does not allow deletes of items which
are already archived. As Stuart says, you could add a workflow to the
collection which would allow things to be removed as long as they are still
in the workspace or workflow. The alternative is, if you plan to allow
people to delete items directly from the archive without that being
approved by the repository administrator, then you can provide your own
workflow manager which will behave the way you want it to:
The default implementation of the WorkflowManager interface is:
http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/trunk/dspace-swordv2/src/main/java/org/dspace/sword2/WorkflowManagerDefault.java
And you will see that it checks to see if items are archived and throws a
sword error if they are. The workflow manager's methods are called before
proceeding with any operation, to find out if the repository allows them.
You can write your own WorkflowManager implementation, and specify it in
the sword config file, as it is loaded by the plugin manager.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Richard
