Hi Carlo,
I can confirm that all PUT operations in the whole GeoServer API have been
operating like PATCH since day one (around 2007?),
the ACL one is no exception. There is no way to fully overwrite any
resource like a PUT would do.
To achieve what you want you'd first have to delete everything and then
start over.... to be honest I don't see an easy way to do that.
Maybe modify the controller method for PUT to have a new "replace" mode as
a query parameter?
Currently it just seems to be trying to locate existing rules that match
and update them, which means, it would preserve the order of the rules as
they were in the file, rather than the one you provided.
Also about the ordering... are you using JSON or XML? Remember that JSON is
not order preserving, a representation
like this one has no order by definition (a JSON object is "an unordered
collection of zero or more name/value pairs"):
{
"/**:GET":"ADMIN",
"/**:POST,DELETE,PUT":"ADMIN"
}
while this one does have order instead (by XML definition):
<rules>
<rule resource="/**:GET">ADMIN</rule>
<rule resource="/**:POST,DELETE,PUT">ADMIN</rule>
</rules>
The default JSON representation of this resource really does not make sense
for this use case, should be a list.... using Map in the backend is not a
good fit for this case.
Cheers
Andrea
