Re: Manage multi-table insert using OData Service

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the reply.  Is this still the recommended way to create/update entities with many-to-many parent/child associations?  I am using the trial landscape (SPS 8.5?). One thing I noticed, I don't see a CSRF token in response to a GET request to my service. I am assuming this is why I am getting null for my token in getCSRF().   

Here is my data model:

    Entity Resource

    {

        key ID: String(10);

        NAME: SString not null;

        DESCRIPTION: SString;

    };

    Entity ComplianceRequirement

    {

        key ID: String(10);

        NAME: SString not null;

        DESCRIPTION: SString;

        NOTES: String(500);

        RENEWAL_CYCLE: association to ComplianceModel.RenewalCycle;

    };

    Entity ResourceComplianceRequirement

    {

  key RESOURCE: association to ComplianceModel.Resource;

  key COMPLIANCE_REQUIREMENT: association to ComplianceModel.ComplianceRequirement;

    };

Here is my service definition:

service {

  "yyy.zzz.ComplianceTracker.data::ComplianceModel.Resource"

  as "Resources"

  navigates ("ToResourceComplianceRequirements" as "ResourceComplianceRequirements")

  create events(before "yyy.zzz.ComplianceTracker.services:resourceComplianceRequirements.xsjslib::createResourceBeforeExit")

  ;

  "yyy.zzz.ComplianceTracker.data::ComplianceModel.ComplianceRequirement" as "ComplianceRequirements";

  "yyy.zzz.ComplianceTracker.data::ComplianceModel.ResourceComplianceRequirement" as "ResourceComplianceRequirements";

  association "ToResourceComplianceRequirements"

  principal "Resources"("ID") multiplicity "*"

  dependent "ComplianceRequirements"("ID") multiplicity "*"

  over "yyy.zzz.ComplianceTracker.data::ComplianceModel.ResourceComplianceRequirement"

  principal ("RESOURCE.ID")

  dependent ("COMPLIANCE_REQUIREMENT.ID");

}

Here is the request payload I am envisioning for create:

{

  "ID": "0",

  "NAME": "TESTNAME",

  "DESCRIPTION": "TESTDESC",

  "ResourceComplianceRequirements":[

{"RESOURCE.ID": "0", "COMPLIANCE_REQUREMENT.ID": "1"},

{"RESOURCE.ID": "0", "COMPLIANCE_REQUREMENT.ID": "3"},

{"RESOURCE.ID": "0", "COMPLIANCE_REQUREMENT.ID": "5"},

{"RESOURCE.ID": "0", "COMPLIANCE_REQUREMENT.ID": "7"}

   ]

}

Thanks and Regards,

Neal
