Description copied from class: AbstractPathAction

Creates a new FileVisitor<Path> to pass to the Files.walkFileTree(Path, Set, int, FileVisitor) method when the AbstractPathAction.execute() method is invoked.

The visitor is responsible for processing the files it encounters that are accepted by all filters.

Specified by:

createFileVisitor in class AbstractPathAction

Parameters:

visitorBaseDir - base dir from where to start scanning for files to process

conditions - filters that determine if a file should be processed

Returns:

a new FileVisitor<Path>

createDeleteAction

@PluginFactory
public static DeleteAction createDeleteAction(@PluginAttribute("basePath")
 String basePath,
 @PluginAttribute("followLinks")
 boolean followLinks,
 @PluginAttribute(value="maxDepth",defaultInt=1)
 int maxDepth,
 @PluginAttribute("testMode")
 boolean testMode,
 @PluginElement("PathSorter")
 PathSorter sorterParameter,
 @PluginElement("PathConditions")
 PathCondition[] pathConditions,
 @PluginElement("ScriptCondition")
 ScriptCondition scriptCondition,
 @PluginConfiguration
 Configuration config)

Create a DeleteAction.

Parameters:

basePath - base path from where to start scanning for files to delete.

followLinks - whether to follow symbolic links. Default is false.

maxDepth - The maxDepth parameter is the maximum number of levels of directories to visit. A value of 0 means that only the starting file is visited, unless denied by the security manager. A value of MAX_VALUE may be used to indicate that all levels should be visited.

testMode - if true, files are not deleted but instead a message is printed to the status logger at INFO level. Users can use this to do a dry run to test if their configuration works as expected. Default is false.

sorterParameter - a plugin implementing the PathSorter interface

pathConditions - an array of path conditions (if more than one, they all need to accept a path before it is deleted).

config - The Configuration.

Returns:

A DeleteAction.
