Alfresco Trashcan Cleaner Module

This module adds a scheduled job that will empty your Alfresco trashcan according to configuration. The following properties can be configured in alfresco-global.properties:

# cron schedule for the Trashcan Cleaner job
# to disable, set it to something like trashcan-cleaner.cron=* * * * * ? 2099
trashcan-cleaner.cron=0 30 2 * * ?

# the period for which trashcan items are kept (in java.time.Duration format)
# default is 28 days
trashcan-cleaner.keepPeriod=P28D

# how many trashcan items to delete per job run
trashcan-cleaner.deleteBatchCount=1000

In the above configuration the scheduled process will clean all deleted items older than one day to a maximum of 1000 (each execution) each hour at the middle of the hour (30 minutes).

To enable debug logging:

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.trashcan=debug

Building and testing

The project can be built and tested by running Maven command:

mvn clean install

The tests require a database connection (PostgreSQL by default).

By default, the it-setup maven profile raises a PostgreSQL container to be used by these tests.

Note: If needed, run mvn clean install -DskipITs to skip the tests.

Artifacts

The artifacts can be obtained by:

  • downloading from Alfresco repository
  • getting as Maven dependency by adding the dependency to your pom file:
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.alfresco</groupId>
  <artifactId>alfresco-trashcan-cleaner</artifactId>

</dependency>

and Alfresco repository:

<repository>
  <id>alfresco-maven-repo</id>
  <url>https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public</url>

The SNAPSHOT version of the artifact is never published.
