> Archiving means we don't physically delete anything.
> Physical deleting will only ever happen by system administrators.
> Archiving works by marking an item in JCR as archived, and then the GUI/service methods ignore the archived items (except when they are loaded up when viewing an historical asset).
> How to do this:
> * Modify the .cnd files in the repository to have a binary archive flag (default to false) - this includes , rules (assets), states, categories, packages.
> * Modify RulesRepository (in drools-repository) functionality to honor this archived flag. Thus when the flag is set, the item will not be shown in a list that is returned (or iterator).
>   - AssetItems: when loading a list of assets from a category, or package this can be filtered out by looking at the flag. When listing the assets in a package, the query can be modified to look at that flag. You can't "un-archive" items - if you try to create one of the same, it will then automatically un-archive it.
>   - CategoryItem: archived items are ignored, if you try to use a "archived" category then it will un-archive them. If you try to create a category of the same name as an archived one, it will just un-archive it.
>  - StateItem: same as category.
> * Modify drools-repository to have the ability to show lists of assets with OR without archived items.
> * drools-jbrms front end should then be modified to have a checkbox when displaying lists of assets, to include archived ones.
> * drools-jbrms Package management screen to be modified to have a checkbox to show archived packages or not.
> * Performance concerns: as the number of archived items grows, this may slow query times for large rule sets - may need to consider moving archived items.
> Future enhancement: items that have been archived for a long time may be deleted.
