> PUT method requests are used for both configured object creation and their updates. Our REST layer looks for ID or name( coupled with object parent) in order to decide whether it is an update request or not.
> Update is made when object with the same id or the same name and parent is found. Otherwise a new object is created.
> On creation of new configured objects(for example, virtual host nodes) the same name as existing object can be specified by mistake. As result, an update request is performed causing updating attributes in existing object and saving those attributes in the database. In practice, it might cause configuration issues, for instance,
> if user tries to create a new BDB HA VHN and specifies an existing VHN name, the existing VHN attributes are updated and on next broker restart a new VHN with a new store can be created.
> In many REST best practices it is recommended to use POST requests to create REST resources and PUT requests to update/create resources.
> We can use the same approach in the Qpid REST layer, i.e. send POST requests if we definitely want to create new objects via web management console or REST
