What if the request were simpler, say something like:
{
"dataSource":"isc_FlashCardsGWTClient_1_0",
"operationType":"update",
"componentId":"isc_ListGrid_0",
"data":{
"id":1,
"frontSideResource.content":"word1xxx"
},
"oldValues":{...}
}
Could I do it without any complex Parser/Writer? Just Filter and Mapping (from
the value for the single "data" structure)? Does this sound right:
ERXRestRequestNode dataNode = requestNode().childNamed( "data" );
dataNode.updateObjectWithFilter(card, updateFilter(), restContext());
So far I THINK it is working, but now I have the problem that
"frontSideResource.content" is really a flattened relationship:
myEO.frontSideResource.content is what I want updated, but the data structure
didn't say
"data":{
"id":1,
"frontSideResource":{content:"word1xxx"}
}
Can I map the "frontsideResource.content" key to the actual keypath off the EO
being updated? Of course I could look into the client end and try to figure
out how to maintain the content value in the structure correctly.
