[opencms-dev] deleting a file

[bart vandendriessche]

thanks for the reply,

But i think you misunderstood, I am having this issue in the offline 
project. In fact I have the administration point of the module set up so 
that it cannot be accessed from the online project (it's grayed out). 
The solution of creating a new offline project seems like a huge 
workaround, especially since this kind of functionality will occur more 
then once, the idea is that the people that will manage the site will be 
able to manage structured content, such as eg newspost from within the 
admin point. They will create it by filling out a form, which is 
converted to a JavaBean, which is then serialized to a small XML file. 
After adding something this way, they can edit / publish / delete it. 
Everything works fine, except the deleting part.
Anyhow, I think you can see how creating a new project for this stuff 
would be a bit of a hassle, at the same time, this also means I can lock 
 > touch > publish stuff without a problem. The only issue is deleting, 
and more particularly, the "publishing" of a delete. The file is marked 
as deleted in the offline project (striked through) yet it still exists 
in its published form, and there seems to be no way for me to get rid of it.

Thanks for trying to help out, hope you have some more ideas, and happy 
holidays :)
