Removal of PluginSettings values on repo delete

[Josh Wheeler]

Hi Atlassian,

On the post PluginSettings how to manage? it states, "If the repository is deleted all the settings are removed."  When I'm using PluginSettings to store data, and the repository is deleted and recreated with the same name under the same project, the data that was stored by the plugin before is retrieved.  Below is how we're storing/retrieving the data - is there a different way to do it so the repo delete functions correctly? 

@Override
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
	String pathInfo = req.getPathInfo();
    String[] components = pathInfo.split("/");
	String projectName, storedName, PROJECT_KEY;
 
	/* Check for valid repository */
    if (components.length < 4) {
        resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
        return;
    }
    Repository repository = repositoryService.getBySlug(components[1], components[2]);
    if (repository == null) {
        resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
      	return;
    }
 
	projectName = req.getParameter("d-fname"); //field in HTML
 
	PROJECT_KEY = repository.getProject().getKey();
    PluginSettings pluginSettings = pluginSettingsFactory.createSettingsForKey(PROJECT_KEY);
    storedName = (String) (pluginSettings.get(repository.getSlug() + "." + PLUGIN_SETTINGS_PROJECT_NAME));

	/* Do more data retrieval/manipulation */
 
	pluginSettings.put(repository.getSlug() + "." + PLUGIN_SETTINGS_PROJECT_NAME, projectName);
 
	doGet(req, resp);
}

I believe you need to write an event listener service which deletes your settings on the repo delete event.

Because writing plugins is a new topic for me, this would mean creating a new plugin and not adding to my existing one - correct?

Add it to your existing plugin.
