--Tom.ware.oracle.com 15:24, 21 December 2011 (UTC) PUT should not be used for INSERT. PUT is supposed to be itempotent and because of the possibility of sequencing, creates are not itempotent.
- We should use PUT for update
- We should use POST for insert
--Doug 15:18, 21 December 2011 (UTC) This should relate to JPA and therefore:
- POST == EntityManager.persist
- PUT == EntityManager.merge
The side-effect of this is that a merge of a new entity can result in an INSERT.
--Tom.ware.oracle.com 15:24, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
- Should we try to guarantee itempotency on PUT?
- A check for sequencing and then a does exist query?
