> Currently, the generated REST resources contain a {{@POST}} method for creating new entities and a {{@PUT}} method for updating an existing entity.
> This set of semantics is appropriate for auto-generated Ids where the Ids would be created by the server, and cannot be specified by the client.
> However, for JPA entities that do not contain a {{@GeneratedValue}} annotation, these semantics may not be unsuitable. It would be preferable to use only a {{@PUT}} method that is used to create and update the entities. This is primarily because the client gets to decide the resource/entity identifier, and hence, also the location of the resource.
