@Mutable
@ThreadSafety(level=NOT_THREADSAFE)
public final class DeleteRequest
extends UpdatableLDAPRequest
implements ReadOnlyDeleteRequest, ProtocolOp

This class implements the processing necessary to perform an LDAPv3 delete operation, which removes an entry from the directory. A delete request contains the DN of the entry to remove. It may also include a set of controls to send to the server. DeleteRequest objects are mutable and therefore can be altered and re-used for multiple requests. Note, however, that DeleteRequest objects are not threadsafe and therefore a single DeleteRequest object instance should not be used to process multiple requests at the same time.

Example

The following example demonstrates the process for performing a delete operation:

 DeleteRequest deleteRequest =
      new DeleteRequest("cn=entry to delete,dc=example,dc=com");
 LDAPResult deleteResult;
 try
 {
   deleteResult = connection.delete(deleteRequest);
   // If we get here, the delete was successful.
 }
 catch (LDAPException le)
 {
   // The delete operation failed.
   deleteResult = le.toLDAPResult();
   ResultCode resultCode = le.getResultCode();
   String errorMessageFromServer = le.getDiagnosticMessage();
 }
