Hi Dan,
So is it ok if I ignore attachments for now and work on the rest of the
implementation? However
http://localhost:8080/restful/version shows
- optionalCapabilities:
{
- blobsClobs: "yes",
- deleteObjects: "yes",
- domainModel: "formal",
- validateOnly: "yes",
- protoPersistentObjects: "yes"
},
