[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (CMIS-88) POST to Childrenresource is confusing

[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/CMIS-88?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=10248#action_10248 ] 

Ryan McVeigh commented on CMIS-88:
----------------------------------

A few changes to the current wording would allow us to keep the basic function as-is.  Here are those changes:

 - Strike lines 691-694.  These appear leftovers from past edits.

 - Line 684, reword as follows:
   - When not required by the type definitions content streams MAY be provided by any mechanism supported by Atom Publishing Protocol:

 - There is a bit of inconsistency in when something is a move and when it is an addToFolder operation.  If a repository supports multi-filing then addToFolder is assumed.  We should simply be explicit here and make move always be a move, and addToFolder always be addToFolder instead of changing behavior based on the underlying repositories capabilities.

 - We should clarify that when moving or adding to a folder, any properties specified other than the ObjectId will be ignored.

> Perhaps these are several issues, but all related to posting to the children resource:
>    1. How to distinguish between create and move?
>    2. If create, what to do with id in the posted entry? (ignore? error?)
>    3. If create, what to do if path in entry dosn't match the resource's folder? (error? ignore?)
>    4. If move, all you really need is a from identity and a destination folder identity (the resource). What to do with the rest of the posted entry? (ignore? updateProperties? assert that they are correct? exception if present?)
