Description

There is a lack of consistency in how the REST controllers handle deletion. For example, RoleController.delete() does not return the deleted RoleTO object, unlike the corresponding method in UserController. It also uses the HTTP delete verb instead of get as per the UserController. I suggest there should be consistent behaviour for delete across the controllers, in other words all delete functionality should use HTTP GET and return the deleted object.
