It depends on the multiplicity of the attributes (see e.g. OCCI Infrastructure). If an attribute is mutable and has a multiplicity greater than zero the client is supposed to supply it. If the client doesn't the OCCI server should return a Bad Request. On the other hand if the multiplicity is 0..x it is considered optional and it is up to the OCCI server to provide a sensible default. /Ralf On Mon, 11 Apr 2011 22:56:53 -0600, Gary Mazz <garymazzaferro@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
One more edge..
During resource creation, resource attributes are included with the request. OCCI defined resources have defined attributes.
The question is what does the occi server do when insufficient attributes are defined in the create request ? Does the create fail ? Does the server populate the Resource with default values ? or does the create complete missing some attributes.
