[jira] [Commented] (ACE-317) Improve the REST API for the OBR

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-317?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13631629#comment-13631629 ] 

Bram de Kruijff commented on ACE-317:
-------------------------------------

Proposed solution icm ACE-316:

To "make it more REST-full" - The required unique filename path is replace by an optional filename parameter, relevant only for non-bundles. ACE-316 changed the store layout thath is now under control of the OBR and not dependent on the filename provided by the client. A create is a POST to the endpoint and, if the resource gets stored succesfull, a HTTP response '201 - Created' is returned with a location header specifying where the resource URI. Subsequent GET/DELETE operations must then operate on the location URI.

To "detect duplicate bundles more gracefully" - We could simply change from throwing a CONFLICT to allowing overwrites. If a client wants to preemtively check wither a specific bundle exists I guess it should check the repository.xml.

To "support to (re)name bundles" - ACE-316 changes the store location to be based on symbolicname/version. For bundles these are taken from the manifest and for other resources the filename can take the form <symbolicname>-<version>.<extension>. This and the previously mentioned overwrite support would probably be good enough?
