[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-4183) Develop a RESTConfig analogous to the recursive deletes in Geoserver's UI

Develop a RESTConfig analogous to the recursive deletes in Geoserver's UI
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-4183
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4183
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: REST
    Affects Versions: 2.0.2
         Environment: Linux
            Reporter: Mckeane Thomas
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
            Priority: Minor

It is possible to delete coverage stores or data stores which recursively delete the published layers, and feature types for such stores. However, recursively deleting either a data store or a coverage store cannot be done using REST configuration. In order to delete a store using RESTConfig the published layers for that store would have to be deleted first of all.

Provide a REST Configuration that performs recursive deletes analogous to the recursive deletes done in Geoserver's User Interface of a coverage store or data store. Therefore, a user could use a curl/rest configuration(s) to delete either a data store or a coverage store, without going through the process of having to delete the published layers first, then the data store and then finally the empty workspace.
