That's an interesting thought, I've just run over the source code to see what we do there. Summary: we have components that delete entire directories, both the Tempdir and Mkdir components can do this when being terminated, and that's all we've needed. That said, DeleteFile and DeleteDir components would be useful in some situations, so I've added two bugreps http://jira.smartfrog.org/jira/browse/SFOS-1541 http://jira.smartfrog.org/jira/browse/SFOS-1542 Deleting a single file is easy, the directory one not so hard, once you get into patterns it gets tricky, so don't hold your breath waiting for that feature. What you can do right now is use the Ant components and just use Ant's Delete task, give it the pattern. Be aware that Ant's code ignores SCM paths (like .svn, .cvs, .git) etc, and its copy logic checks source and destination times by default -features you want at build time but which interfere during deployments -steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Smartfrog-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/smartfrog-users
