The Restful Objects spec [1] explains how to submit arguments that are
references to entity types (such as "DeliGroup"); basically you send a
"value.href" pointing to the object; see section 2.9.2.1
Something like:
{
"deliverableName": {"value": "NAME_ABC"},
"deliverableDescription": {"value": "DESC_ABC"},
"deliGroup": { "value": { "href": "
http://localhost:8080/restful/objects/DeliGroup/1"; } }
}
As for submitting this JSON, it is described in section 2.10; basically:
* if the action has "safe" semantics, ie invoked via HTTP GET, then this
string is URL encoded and appended to the end of the URL (after the ?).
* if the action has "Idempotent" semantics (invoked via HTTP PUT) or
non-idempotent semantics (invoked via HTTP POST) then the JSON string is
simply the body of the request.
