isPermanentDeleteAllowed

public static boolean isPermanentDeleteAllowed(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

This method is used for determining if a delete button can be used to permanently delete a portlet instance from the database. This information is valuable because it allows a user interface to give an appropriate prompt to the end-user, with choices that accurately represent actions that can successfully be taken. For example, if delete permanently is allowed, a look and feel can prompt the end user if s/he wants to delete this portlet permanently, or just for the session.

Returns

true if this button can be used to permanently delete a portlet instance from the database; false otherwise.
