> Lets take example of createCube and createFact.
> createCube accepts LensSessionHandle as query param and XCube as entity.
> @POST
> @Path("cubes")
> public APIResult createNewCube(@QueryParam("sessionid") LensSessionHandle sessionid, XCube cube) 
> On the other hand, createFact consumes multi part form data and accepts LensSessionHandle and XFactTable as form data params.
> @Consumes({MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA})
> @POST
> @Path("/facts")
> public APIResult createFactTable(@FormDataParam("sessionid") LensSessionHandle sessionid, @FormDataParam("fact") XFactTable fact)
> createFact and createCube are logically similar but still have different ways of receiving request data in REST API. 
> Logically similar APIs should choose same method to receive request data.
