Subject: Why = doesn't=20 delete the SourceWritingTransformer non-empty=20 directories??

Hi all,
 
I'm trying to delete a non-empty directory with the source = writing=20 transformer. This results in "Could not delete blahblah (unknown = reason)".=20

The delete function of this class is = called. This=20 function uses the File.delete function (which doesn't delete non-empty = directories). This is standard java behaviour, I assume? Shouldn't = FileSource=20 check whether the source is a directory and act properly?

I realize that I can work around with a DirectoryGenerator, but = when the=20 directory to delete is determined by some request parameters, it = becomes too=20 complicated (imo).
 
I'm going to use XSP/action/... now to delete that directory=20 recursively...
 
Thanks!
