If you're using Java to interact with your CMS's API and you're finding that the pagemanager.delete method only deletes pages from the author and not the publisher, it suggests that the method may be specific to the authoring environment and doesn't handle deletion from the publisher. To delete pages from both the author and publisher, you'll likely need to use the appropriate APIs provided by your CMS.
Here's a general approach you can take in Java:
Identify the CMS or Platform: Determine what CMS or platform you're using for authoring and publishing content. Each may have its own API or method for managing content.
Authentication: Ensure you have the necessary authentication credentials (API keys, OAuth tokens, etc.) to interact with the CMS's API.
Use the Appropriate API: Depending on the platform, you'll need to use the correct API or method to delete pages. Look for documentation on how to delete pages programmatically. This might involve making HTTP requests to specific endpoints, using client libraries provided by the CMS, or interacting with the CMS's Java SDK if available.
Loop Through Pages: If you need to delete multiple pages, you'll likely need to loop through a list of page IDs or some other identifier and delete each page individually using the API.
Handle Errors: Make sure to handle errors gracefully. Check for errors returned by the API and handle them appropriately in your code.
Here's a simplified example using Java and the HttpClient class to make HTTP requests:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.HttpClient;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse;
public class PageDeletionExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Assuming you have a list of page IDs to delete
int[] pageIds = {1, 2, 3};
// Assuming you have authentication credentials
String token = "YOUR_API_TOKEN";
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
for (int pageId : pageIds) {
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
.uri(URI.create("https://your-cms-api.com/pages/" + pageId))
.header("Authorization", "Bearer " + token)
.DELETE()
.build();
try {
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());
if (response.statusCode() == 200) {
System.out.println("Page with ID " + pageId + " deleted successfully.");
} else {
System.out.println("Failed to delete page with ID " + pageId + ". Status code: " + response.statusCode());
}
} catch (IOException | InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
Replace "YOUR_API_TOKEN" with your actual API token or authentication method, and "https://your-cms-api.com/pages/" + pageId with the actual endpoint provided by your CMS's API for deleting pages.
Remember to refer to your CMS's documentation for the exact API endpoints and authentication methods. If your CMS provides a Java SDK, it's recommended to use that for interacting with the API as it may provide more convenient methods and error handling.
