POST Create a new transaction

After retrieving a transaction resource, the client can execute any REST API method prefixed by the transaction location.

Transactions are automatically closed and rolled back after 3 minutes of inactivity. Transactions can be refreshed by POSTing to /rest/{tx:id}/fcr:tx

 

Example:

curl -i -X POST "http://localhost:8080/rest/fcr:tx" 

Response:

Status: 201 Created
 
Headers:
Location: http://localhost:8080/rest/tx:83e34464-144e-43d9-af13-b3464a1fb9b5
Expires: Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:32:57 GMT

Usage:

When a transaction has been created, it will return a Location header.  Use this location as the base URL for performing REST API operations within the transaction.  When you are done with the transaction, either append "/fcr:tx/fcr:commit" to commit the transaction to the repository or "/fcr:tx/fcr:rollback" to discard the changes.

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/rest/tx:83e34464-144e-43d9-af13-b3464a1fb9b5/path/to/object/to/create"
curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:8080/rest/tx:83e34464-144e-43d9-af13-b3464a1fb9b5/path/to/resource/to/delete"
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/rest/tx:83e34464-144e-43d9-af13-b3464a1fb9b5/fcr:tx/fcr:commit"

Any operations you made within the scope of the transaction will be applied together, meaning if any of them fail, the whole transaction will fail.

Response:

Status: 204 No Content

410 Gone: if the transaction doesn't exist

 


POST Rollback and close an open transaction

curl -i -X POST "http://localhost:8080/rest/tx:123456789/fcr:tx/fcr:rollback" 

Response:

Status: 204 No Content

Status:

204 No Content: if the transaction is discarded successfully

410 Gone: if the transaction doesn't exist
