[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-3527) Add an option to delete data when deleting configuration

Add an option to delete data when deleting configuration
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3527
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3527
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: REST
            Reporter: Romaric Pascal
            Assignee: Andrea Aime

When deleting configuration (for example, a style), data is not deleted (the sld files, in the case of a style). In case of style, this causes problems if you want to create a new style with the same name as the style that has been deleted.

The policy of not deleting data could be maintained by default with an option like "&purge=true", that would be added to trigger data deletion upon configuration deletion.
