Hey great team,
I think Usergrid is an amazing project, and I use it as my application's
backbone. But I always cannot delete binary files, and here is my question
about deleting asset binary files through rest API.
`stack/rest/src/main/java/org/apache/usergrid/rest/applications/ServiceResource.java`
has this code snippet:
```
ServiceResults sr = executeServiceRequest( ui, response,
ServiceAction.DELETE, null );
// if we deleted an entity (and not a connection or collection) then
// we may need to clean up binary asset data associated with that entity
if ( !sr.getResultsType().equals( ServiceResults.Type.CONNECTION )
&& !sr.getResultsType().equals( ServiceResults.Type.COLLECTION )) {
// Execute binaryStore.delete()
```
So I learn Usergrid has a way to delete binary files. Here comes my
question. The if-else statement does not allow a ServiceResult whose
ResultType equals COLLECTION. But take a look
`stack/services/src/main/java/org/apache/usergrid/services/AbstractCollectionService.java`
(I remember almost services extend this class):
```
@Override
public ServiceResults deleteItemById( ServiceContext context, UUID id )
throws Exception {
checkPermissionsForEntity( context, id );
// skip some contents ...
return new ServiceResults( this, context, Type.COLLECTION,
Results.fromEntity( item ), null, null );
}
```
Above method always returns a ServiceResults whose ResultType equals
Type.COLLECTION. So it always cannot access the code snippet inside of the
if-else statement. Is that a bug? Or it's my misunderstanding ? I look
forward your help and hope you can explain a little bit more if I'm
understanding. Thank you so much.
Cheers,
Zeck
