Implementation Reference
- Core implementation of deleteComponent: performs HTTP DELETE on componentPath, falls back to POST with :operation=delete if 405, with validation and error handling.
async deleteComponent(request: DeleteComponentRequest): Promise<DeleteResponse> { return safeExecute<DeleteResponse>(async () => { const { componentPath, force = false } = request; if (!isValidContentPath(componentPath)) { throw createAEMError( AEM_ERROR_CODES.INVALID_PARAMETERS, `Invalid component path: ${String(componentPath)}`, { componentPath } ); } let deleted = false; try { await this.httpClient.delete(componentPath); deleted = true; } catch (err: any) { if (err.response && err.response.status === 405) { try { await this.httpClient.post(componentPath, { ':operation': 'delete' }); deleted = true; } catch (slingErr: any) { this.logger.error('Sling POST delete failed', { error: slingErr.response?.status, data: slingErr.response?.data }); throw slingErr; } } else { this.logger.error('DELETE failed', { status: err.response?.status, data: err.response?.data }); throw err; } } return createSuccessResponse({ success: deleted, deletedPath: componentPath, timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), }, 'deleteComponent') as DeleteResponse; }, 'deleteComponent'); } - src/mcp-server.ts:310-320 (registration)MCP tool registration including name, description, and input schema for deleteComponent.
name: 'deleteComponent', description: 'Delete a component from AEM', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { componentPath: { type: 'string' }, force: { type: 'boolean' }, }, required: ['componentPath'], }, }, - src/mcp-server.ts:717-720 (registration)MCP server dispatch handler that calls aemConnector.deleteComponent on tool invocation.
case 'deleteComponent': { const result = await aemConnector.deleteComponent(args); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }] }; } - src/aem-connector-new.ts:128-130 (handler)Wrapper in AEMConnector that delegates deleteComponent to ComponentOperations instance.
async deleteComponent(request: any) { return this.componentOps.deleteComponent(request); } - TypeScript interface imports for DeleteComponentRequest and DeleteResponse used in the handler.
