Batch upload through linked artifacts in a multipart POST/PUT ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ARTIF-599 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARTIF-599 Project: Artificer Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Brett Meyer Assignee: Brett Meyer {quote} 2.3.5.2.1 Using Batch POST RFC 2387, "The MIME Multipart/Related Content-type" describes how to perform a multipart POST of binary documents. S-RAMP builds on this RFC to extend the IETF draft document "ATOM Multi-part Media Resource Creation" to support the simultaneous publishing of a collection of non-dependent and dependent resources and their associated metadata. With this approach it is possible, for example, to publish an XSD document which imports two other XSD documents by including it as well as its dependencies in a single POST to the repository. The Batch POST method requires an atom entry document as the root body part. This root atom entry document points to any dependent atom entry documents contained in other body parts using atom:link elements with an href attribute whose value is the Content-ID of the relevant body part. It also points at the actual document content by specifying the Content-ID of the relevant body part as the value of the src attribute in the atom:content element of the atom entry document. This approach provides complete linkage between a document and its dependencies and all corresponding binary resources. {quote} Although we implement the archive-based method of batch uploading, we do not currently support plain multipart for multiple artifacts. Support for both POST and updating through PUT is necessary.
