Subject: "RemoveObjectsRequest" - References Exist
I'm looking at a case for the Core Components Technical Note where we may want to allow a registry implementation to automatically (but possibly with user confirmation) remove an ExtrinsicObject, and all ExtrinsicObjects related to that ExtrinsicObject via Associations. My question is: Is this possible, according to our current specs? More details: - In ebRS 2.5, the "RemoveObjectsRequest" method lists an exception "ReferencesExistException" (p.56), which indicates that the requestor attempted to remove a RegistryObject while references to it still exist. - On p.55 (line 1626), it states "In addition to the exceptions common to all requests, the following exceptions may be returned:". - The case I am looking it is where the user has done the following: (1) Create CCT (Core Component Type) "Country_Code" (2) Create Data Type "European_Country_Code" based on (i.e. derived from) CCT "Country_Code" (an Association is created) (3) Create Data Type "West_European_Country_Code" based on (i.e. derived from) Data Type "European_Country_Code" (an Association is created) (4) Delete CCT "Country_Code" I would like there to then be a ripple effect resulting from (4) in which the "chain" of Associations is examined, and the derived entities (the Data Types "European_Country_Code" and West_European_Country_Code") are deleted. QUESTION: Is the "may" on line 1626 to be interpreted in the RFC 2119 sense (i.e. optionally)? If so, I would be able to allow this sequence of events in the Technical Note. Thanks, Joe
