OSLC Object Passback Token

When creating new records (in particular child records) using autokeys, if multiple children are difficult to identify after creation.

For example:

POST /maximo/oslc/os/someOS

{

"description":"a Root object",

"child":[{"description":"child 1"},{"description":"child 2"}]

}


would return something like:

{

"rootid":"123"

"description":"a Root object",

"child":[{"childautokey":1,"description":"child 1"},{"childautokey":2,"description":"child 2"}]

}


If the sequence of the children were guaranteed then it would be possible to match the request and response, but this is not always true.


I would suggest a new oslc object property _postbackid that the client could generate and maximo return in the message, for example:


POST /maximo/oslc/os/someOS

{

"description":"a Root object",

"child":[{"_postbackid":"example A","description":"child 1"},{"_postbackid":"example B","description":"child 2"}]

}


would return something like:

{

"rootid":"123"

"description":"a Root object",

"child":[{"_postbackid":"example A","childautokey":1,"description":"child 1"},{"_postbackid":"example B","childautokey":2,"description":"child 2"}]

}

    a further thought on this, it would be also very useful on patch/merge updates - so if the solution could work in both cases that would be very useful.
