Peter Grape commented on FELIX-6363:
------------------------------------
Yes, a proper single property update command that really does what is stated
would be good.
A simple added "update" option which then disables the clear function should
solve the logic and be transparent for the webgui.
So:
{color:#FF0000}curl -u admin:admin -X POST -d "apply=true" *-d "update=true"*
-d "propertylist=foo,bar" -d "foo=51" -d "bar=hello"
http://localhost:8080/system/console/configMgr/com.acme.MyPid{color}
I assume the function is there for a clean apply of all options every time in
the webgui, if you would delete a value, it would not be removed if all the
values are not cleared on every call.
BTW.
I also found out that applying all the options w/o any values worked for all
types except for array which was cleared.

> 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]
