[opencms-dev] Problem with zombie content

[Jan.Hegewald at sdm.de]

Good evening,

recently I ran into a problem which looks like OpenCms mixed something up in 
the VFS. Here are the symptoms:

I have a folder "data" which I can delete and publish in the offline project. 
Despite it is gone in the offline project after publishing, it remains visible 
in the online project with exactly one file "100341" in it. This file seems to 
be the problem.

If I recreate the folder in the offline project, it is shown as empty. When 
published, the folder appears in the online project as a second folder "data" 
in parallel to the first folder "data" with identical content, if I put any 
in.

Afterwards I am able to create the file "100341" that is left in the online 
project in the newly created folder in the offline project, but when trying to 
publish it, this fails with the following error message:

Error publishing file "/sites/default/data/100341".
Fehler org.opencms.file.CmsVfsResourceAlreadyExistsException: Die Ressource 
"/data/100341" kann nicht erstellt werden, denn sie existiert bereits.
at org.opencms.db.generic.CmsVfsDriver.createResource(CmsVfsDriver.java:441)

at org.opencms.file.CmsObject.publishProject(CmsObject.java:1975)
at 
org.opencms.workplace.threads.CmsPublishThread.run(CmsPublishThread.java:122)

If I delete the unpublished file "100341" and publish the deletion, this works 
without error messages. Nevertheless the file "100341" remains in the online 
project.

So, in fact I am unable to create a file "100341" in the offline project and 
publish it, since there is a zombie version of it in the online project.

If you have any ideas how to get rid of the zombie file I would greatly 
appreciate them!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards,
Jan Hegewald
