Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-157) Specify how client correlates requests within a changeset with responses


    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-157?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=31913#action_31913 ] 

Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-157:
----------------------------------

Let's start from where we agree and go one little step further:

The client should always specify Content-ID and should rely on the returned Content-ID to correlate responses. 

No assumptions about ordering in the response.

> The current $batch specification says that requests within a changeset need not be processed in the same order they are specified. For example, a service may re-order changes to reduce the likelihood of integrity violations by first doing deletes, then inserts, then updates. It goes on to say that the responses in a changeset must be 1:1 with the requests, but does not say they must be in the same order, and does not say how a client correlates a response within a changeset with a particular request within that changeset.
> Changesets do describe the use of a content-id header for allowing a statement within a batch to reference the results of a previous statement within the batch. For example, to add an order to a customer that was added within the same batch. However, it does not say that it is mandatory for the client to specify the content-id header for requests within a batch, nor does it say that it is mandatory for a service to return content-id headers supplied within the batch.
> It seems simplest to say that clients SHOULD specify a content-id header for requests within a changeset, and that service MUST return the content-id (if any) specified by the client. This allows the service to re-order changes within the changeset without having to buffer the response, and is arguably simpler for the client to correlate responses without having to rely on ordering.
