RestCollectionDeleteMissingView (Gerrit Review Plugin API Documentation)

Type Parameters:

P - type of the parent resource

C - type of the child resource that id deleted

I - type of input the JSON parser will parse the input into.

All Superinterfaces:

RestCollectionView<P,C,I>, RestView<C>

All Known Implementing Classes:

ChangeEdits.DeleteFile
```
public interface RestCollectionDeleteMissingView<P extends RestResource,C extends RestResource,I>
extends RestCollectionView<P,C,I>
```
RestView that supports accepting input and deleting a resource that is missing.
The RestDeleteMissingView solely exists to support a special case for creating a change edit by deleting a path in the non-existing change edit. This interface should not be used for new REST API's.
The input must be supplied as JSON as the body of the HTTP request. Delete views can be invoked by the HTTP method DELETE.
The RestDeleteMissingView is only invoked when the parse method of the RestCollection throws ResourceNotFoundException, and hence the resource doesn't exist yet.
