Carsten Ziegeler commented on FELIX-6363:
-----------------------------------------
This rest api has been created for the web console - that's why it is working
the way it is. The documentation is misleading/wrong. It's in fact implemented
that you need to post all property names as part of the propertyList - the web
console has a list of the property names, so it's not a problem for the web
console to send them.
I agree that this is not very useful for a general client.
I'm not sure, if changing this behaviour has side effects for the web console
or potentially other clients.
However, we could add a new command "update" with the behaviour you want, web
console continues to use "apply"

> Key: FELIX-6363
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6363
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Web Console
> Reporter: Peter Grape
> Priority: Major
>
> When updating a single value using the REST API the unreferenced properties
> in a configuration is deleted, this is not what the documentation is saying
> on:
> [https://felix.apache.org/documentation/subprojects/apache-felix-web-console/web-console-restful-api.html#configuration-admin-plugin]
> If I instead add all the properties to the propertyList parameter all those
> referenced are updated and/or saved .
>
> This cannot be right because I will then have to query for all parameters
> before I am able to update a single one.
> Since there is a delete option in the REST API this should only as stated in
> the documentation update the referenced parameters and leave all others
> untouched.
>
> Either add an extra option with the possibility to delete unreferenced
> properties.
> or remove the code all together.
>
> The code that does the deletion is here:
> [https://github.com/apache/felix-dev/blob/ab2c3ac3a570ba316daeb6368bab8193805f37c0/webconsole/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/webconsole/internal/configuration/ConfigAdminSupport.java#L304]
