[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-1057) Consider PATCH to /$delta for delta update rather than rely on context url

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

     [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1057?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ralf Handl updated ODATA-1057:
------------------------------

        Fix Version/s: V4.01_CSD02
                           (was: V4.01_CS02)
    Affects Version/s: V4.01_CSD01
                           (was: V4.01_CS01)

What would GET to collection/$delta return?

I'd rather not invent a new resource type.

> As of 4.01 we support PATCH to a collection of entities. The PATCH is either interpreted as a set operation (if the payload is a single entity) or applied as a delta payload (if the payload has a context URL of #$delta.
> Rather than distinguishing on payload, what if we said that PATCH to a collection of entities is always interpreted as a set operation (same as PATCH to a collection of complex or primitive types) and to apply a delta to a collection of entities you would PATCH to the resource with /$delta appended.
