Hello netmod group,
We've run into following situation with NETCONF and we would like to know your
opinion on what's the correct behavior here:
Model (root non-presence container with nested list) :
container mapping-nodes {
list mapping-node{
key "id";
leaf id {
type string;
}
}
}
Netconf edit-config RPC (replacing mapping-node entry with none operation for
mapping-nodes container, in an empty data store):
<edit-config>
...
<default-operation>none</default-operation>
<config>
<mapping-nodes xmlns="urn:opendaylight:mdsal:mapping:test">
<mapping-node xmlns:a="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"
a:operation="replace">
<id>node1-put</id>
</mapping-node>
</mapping-nodes>
</config>
</edit-config>
And the question here is: Whether the edit should fail or not ?
The problem is that mapping-nodes container does not exist and in edit-config
rpc, there's "none" operation associated to it.
Our first assumption was that the resulting data structure should be invalid
due to missing root container and rpc should fail.
However, the container is non-presence (exists only for organizing the
hierarchy of data nodes), which means that it may be created/deleted as child
nodes appear/disappear.
In which case, the operation doesn't have to fail and can create mapping-nodes
container even if "none" operation is associated with it.
Regards,
Maros
