AreaDeleteMethod

java.lang.Object
- com.filenet.api.constants.AreaDeleteMethod

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public final class AreaDeleteMethod
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
```
Provides a set of constants that identify the method used to delete content from a file storage area, fixed storage area, content cache area, or advanced storage device. For fixed content devices, deletion implementations depend on the device. If a fixed content device does not support one of the secure delete methods (that is, destructive or purge), then the device's standard delete method is used.

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field and Description
`static AreaDeleteMethod`	`DESTRUCTIVE` Provides secured delete at a moderate performance cost.
`static int`	`DESTRUCTIVE_AS_INT` An `int` value associated with the DESTRUCTIVE instance of this class.
`static AreaDeleteMethod`	`PURGE` Provides highly secured delete at a higher performance cost than destructive delete.
`static int`	`PURGE_AS_INT` An `int` value associated with the PURGE instance of this class.
`static AreaDeleteMethod`	`STANDARD` Specifies that content be deleted using the normal delete operation for the given device or file system.

- Field Detail
  - DESTRUCTIVE_AS_INT
```
public static final int DESTRUCTIVE_AS_INT
```
    An int value associated with the DESTRUCTIVE instance of this class. Consider using the static instances of this class instead of the associated int values. The int values risk binary incompatibility (but not source incompatibility) from release to release.

    Constant Field Values
  - DESTRUCTIVE
```
public static final AreaDeleteMethod DESTRUCTIVE
```
    Provides secured delete at a moderate performance cost. For content stored in a file, this involves writing over the content once with zeroes prior to deletion.
  - PURGE_AS_INT
```
public static final int PURGE_AS_INT
```
    An int value associated with the PURGE instance of this class. Consider using the static instances of this class instead of the associated int values. The int values risk binary incompatibility (but not source incompatibility) from release to release.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - PURGE
```
public static final AreaDeleteMethod PURGE
```
    Provides highly secured delete at a higher performance cost than destructive delete. File content is overwritten three times before deletion.
  - STANDARD_AS_INT
```
public static final int STANDARD_AS_INT
```
    An int value associated with the STANDARD instance of this class. Consider using the static instances of this class instead of the associated int values. The int values risk binary incompatibility (but not source incompatibility) from release to release.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - STANDARD
```
public static final AreaDeleteMethod STANDARD
```
    Specifies that content be deleted using the normal delete operation for the given device or file system.
- Method Detail
  - getValue
```
public int getValue()
```
    Returns the internal integer value associated with a specific instance of this class.
    
    Returns:
    
    The enumeration instance's ordinal value.
    
    See Also:
    
    getInstanceFromInt(int)
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Returns a String representation of this enumeration instance.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    The enumeration instance's description.
  - getInstanceFromInt
```
public static AreaDeleteMethod getInstanceFromInt(int value)
```
    Returns an instance of this class using its associated integer value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - The integer value. (See the *_AS_INT fields.)
    
    Returns:
    
    The enumeration instance with the given ordinal value.
    
    Throws:
    
    EngineRuntimeException - If an enumeration instance with the given ordinal value does not exist.
