Thanks Pascal but we are still a little bit confused.
I answer the last Q first which is simple: it was not the idea to pass the
username and password as in your WOWODC slide. I thought about the login value
like
www.wocommunity.org/ra/user/probert if probert is your login. But not sure it's
a good option to do that.
Regarding the uid, so I should write (based on the ERRestExample) something
like that:
Project project()
{
String uid = routeObjectForKey("uid");
Project aProject = Project.fetchProject(editingContext, Project.UID.eq(uid));
return aProject;
}
Is that right?
So by convention and I should say, "the default implementation", everything has
been designed to get object based on their primary key, isn't it?
