/**
 * Strategy for deleting files.

* There is more than one way to delete a file. * You may want to limit access to certain directories, to only delete * directories if they are empty, or maybe to force deletion. *

* This class captures the strategy to use and is designed for user subclassing. * * @author Stephen Colebourne * @version $Id: FileDeleteStrategy.java 453903 2006-10-07 13:47:06Z scolebourne $ * @since Commons IO 1.3 */ public class FileDeleteStrategy { /** * The singleton instance for normal file deletion, which does not permit * the deletion of directories that are not empty. */ public static final FileDeleteStrategy NORMAL = new FileDeleteStrategy("Normal"); /** * The singleton instance for forced file deletion, which always deletes, * even if the file represents a non-empty directory. */ public static final FileDeleteStrategy FORCE = new ForceFileDeleteStrategy(); /** The name of the strategy. */ private final String name; //----------------------------------------------------------------------- /** * Restricted constructor. * * @param name the name by which the strategy is known */ protected FileDeleteStrategy(String name) { this.name = name; } //----------------------------------------------------------------------- /** * Deletes the file object, which may be a file or a directory. * All IOExceptions are caught and false returned instead. * If the file does not exist or is null, true is returned. *
