Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (CAMP-25) Refine link structure
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/CAMP-25?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=32049#action_32049 ]
Jacques Durand commented on CAMP-25:
-------------------------------------
it seems that these links can do quite a lot more than just link to resources: create new resources, query lists of resources, etc. That looks more like full-blown methods in an object-model. So the name "link" is a bit reductive (are we sure that the "link" model, from resource to resource, is sufficient to represent all the operations we may want to define and support?).
Also there is nothing in the serialization of a resource where such links are used, that indicates clearly that these are "links" with potentially some advanced operation behind them. Not sure how to make this more visible (maybe using more explicit typing?) Right now I have to look up the "links" catalog to know whether an attribute of a resource is a link or not?

> The current standard defines links as a structure that "must contain 'href' and may contain more" such as 'rel', 'type', etc. Depending on the level of HATEOAS support we envision, we may need a more extensive structure that supports "write" operations like POST or PUT and on-the-fly URL construction as in the proposal below.
