Hi Peter,
I did use API described by that chapter, however I still have problems. My nodes have some properties name and type. Now I want to add new properties to my nodes. 1. Set property: the section 16.5.1 describes that the url http://localhost:7474/db/data/node/5/properties/foo and the body to be put is "bar". I assume "foo" is the property name and bar the property value. But how is the string "bar" sent in the PUT request while the service accepts a JSON object (Content-type = application/json)? I have tried to put a string or a json object like {"value":"testing"}. I got Bad request error as I anticipated. 2. Update properties: I have tried as 16.5.2 instructs and the result are: a. If I PUT a JSON object that has all existing properties with new values then all properties of the node are updated with new values. b. If I PUT a JSON object that has only one property with a new value then all properties of the node are gone except the property in the PUT with the new value. Would you please explain how I can update a property and how I add new properties to a node but existing properties are still intact. Thank you very much!
