Deletion of entire project

[Fredrik Levander]

Users of Proteios sometimes want to restart from the beginning with entering data into a project, for example after finding out that the wrong search settings were used etcetera. There should be a possibility to delete an entire project, which deletes data so that dependency problems are solved. Thus for a project the following needs to be scheduled for deletion, in this order:

(Features) Hits Jobs Spectrum Searches Files (all files found in the project directory or it's subdirectories) Directories The project itself

The first step is to mark all items as deleted. When empty trash is executed, this should be executed as a plug-in #620, since it will put heavy load on mysql and tomcat, and should be run as a job.

[Gregory Vincic]

The reason for this not being solved is that it's difficult. I will implement a intermediary solution where users may close a project, thus removing it from their list view. (See #587 Close projects)

(In [3443]) Refs #585. Added support for scheduling project parts for deletion. The project itself is not deleted, but only marked as closed.

(In [3445]) Merging test branch with trunk. Refs #585, Refs #614, Refs #621.

The project is not deleted, but the content is. There are still some foreign key constraints to handle before the projects should be deleted completely

1. Class/file action/project/ListMyProjects.java in client/servlet/

updated:

1. Public method void runMe() updated to remove the "Delete" button

coupled to action DeleteItems from the tool bar of the project table.

2. Class/file gui/Toolbar.java in client/servlet/ updated:

a Public method void clear() updated to first check if instance variable ArrayList<AbstractLink> toolbar differs from null, before calling its clear() method.

3. English dictionary file locale/en/dictionary in client/servlet/

updated by changing the string value for key TrashProject from "Trash Project" to "Delete".

(In [3957]) Refs #704. Refs #585. Class/file action/project/TrashProject.java in client/servlet/ updated to no longer create a job owned by the project to delete, as this made the job itself be marked as deleted:

1. Protected method void runMe() updated to set the active

project to null before creating the job.

(In [3958]) Refs #704. Refs #585. Class/file plugins/ProjectToTrash.java in plugin/ updated:

1. Public method

void run(Request request, Response response, ProgressReporter progress) updated:

1. The Project item was re-created with the new DbControl from

the id value of the former, as this eliminates the need to call reattachItem(...).

2. The lists of directories and files in the project is now obtained

by calling new private methods List<Directory> directoryTree(DbControl dc, List<Directory> dirList, Directory startDir) and List<File> filesInDirectories(DbControl dc, List<Directory> dirList), respectively.

2. New private method

List<Directory> directoryTree(DbControl dc, List<Directory> dirList, Directory startDir) added. It obtains a list of all directories that have the start directory as ancestor.

3. New private method

List<File> filesInDirectories(DbControl dc, List<Directory> dirList) added. It obtains a list of all files in a list of directories.

Closing of a project can still be performed when editing the properties of a project item. Closed projects may be filtered out from showing up when listing projects.
