> PUT method requests are used for both configured object creation and their
> updates. Our REST layer looks for ID or name( coupled with object parent) in
> order to decide whether it is an update request or not.
> Update is made when object with the same id or the same name and parent is
> found. Otherwise a new object is created.
> On creation of new configured objects(for example, virtual host nodes) the
> same name as existing object can be specified by mistake. As result, an
> update request is performed causing updating attributes in existing object
> and saving those attributes in the database. In practice, it might cause
> configuration issues, for instance,
> if user tries to create a new BDB HA VHN and specifies an existing VHN name,
> the existing VHN attributes are updated and on next broker restart a new VHN
> with a new store can be created.
> In many REST best practices it is recommended to use POST requests to create
> REST resources and PUT requests to update/create resources.
> We can use the same approach in the Qpid REST layer, i.e. send POST requests
> if we definitely want to create new objects via web management console or REST
