[jira] [Commented] (DTACLOUD-357) can't create machine using CIMI front-end with json POST

["Marios Andreou (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DTACLOUD-357?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13492188#comment-13492188 ] 

Marios Andreou commented on DTACLOUD-357:
-----------------------------------------

Dies - thanks for reporting this. 

The "+json" bit was because in earlier version of the (then) work-in-progress CIMI spec, every entity had it's own content type. So Machine create was like "application/MachineCreate+json" for example (something like that anyway - forget exact syntax). Thankfully we managed to convince the group that this was unnecessary and so we now just have the much more sensible "application/json" and "application/xml". Patch 1 here removes these old references.

Patch 2 fixes the error in the json parsing and Patch 3 makes sure the server defaults to one of xml/json when a cimi request is being handled (deltacloud requests can also do html).

NOTE: the returned XML/JSON may not be perfect. We are going to be working on the CIMI impl. over the next 
few days/weeks. However I believe the patches here address the concerns raised in this ticket.

(patches also available @ http://tracker.deltacloud.org/set/116)

thanks! marios
