How Do I Delete a Business Entity Instance?

There are a number of ways to delete entities.

  1. Delete an instance that you have a reference to:
    
    person.delete();
    
  2. Delete an instance where you have only its Id:
    
    delete(personId);
    
  3. Delete the results of a query
    
    Query query = createQuery("from Person person where exists ( "
        + " from PersonName as perName where person = perName.id.person and "
        + "perName.isPrimaryName = :systemBool and perName.entityName "
        + "like :name)");
     query.bindLikableString("name", "ABC", 64);
     query.bindBoolean("systemBool", com.splwg.base.api.datatypes.Bool.TRUE);
    
     long rowsDeleted = query.delete();
