Sure.  The use case for me anyways is just to
be able to quickly delete some schema containers
while debugging junit tests...and I understand
that there are probably cross LDAP server considerations, etc...
which makes bloating the delete function less sexy...

Smoookkin!!  U and PAM Da Mans!

Should I just close this then like Alex recommended?

Oh - Incidentally this thought just popped in.
Suppose I was editing the Schema partition
entries through the browser, like I was doing.

Once the Schemas editor connects directly to ADS,
might it make sense to "Switch" the delete action
to the one used by the Schemas Editor, when
connecting to the schema through the browser?

Thus the delete action implementation
being used would depend on whether the partition being
connected to is ADS's schema partition.

I need to review the IAdaptable pattern the Eclipse APIs
use, but I think that if the action were an IAdaptable
then selecting the implementation for the delete action
could made fairly elegant.

So if ou=schema is the partition, then the cascading delete
stuff becomes possible by delegating the delete action request
to the CasacdingDelete action, but for all other partitions
and connections it's the other delete action implementation.

This might provide for a better ADS dynamic schema editing
experience.

Now it's sort of like this same feature request again :-)

Anyways it might be a feature suggestion that could
just hang around on in the periphery of LS feature requests,
and then if for some reason others start requesting a pluggable/switchable
action API in LS, then then maybe it gets interesting.

Or we could just nuke it:-)  I have both keys.  Just give me the signal

Cheers,
- Ole
