[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SRAMP-539?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Eric Wittmann edited comment on SRAMP-539 at 8/8/14 10:04 AM: -------------------------------------------------------------- While it wouldn't be *too* hard to audit an update, we should really consider removing the content update feature. The spec is a little ambiguous on the topic if I recall correctly. *EDIT*: In particular, updates are problematic with regard to derived content. What do we do with the derived artifacts if we change the content? Presumably we would delete them and re-derive. But if we do that, we might lose meta-data added to those derived artifacts manually by users. There may also be relationships that have been formed on those derived artifacts, in which case referential integrity will prevent them from being deleted, and the update will fail. All in all I am disappointed in myself for implementing the updateContent feature to begin with. was (Author: eric.wittmann): While it wouldn't be *too* hard to audit an update, we should really consider removing the content update feature.
