Re: [Betterform-users] replace instance parse-error

[Fraser H. <fra...@gm...>]

Hi Joern,

For the vast majority of cases I suppose you're right, and I realized for my
case I'm able to do without replacing the instance for put requests.
 However using the Atom publishing protocal in eXist, put requests are used
to update an entry or feed.  eXist returns the updated entry including the
automatically updated <atom:updated/> timestamp and possibly some other
values.  If one needed to use these automatically updated values in the form
you might want to replace the instance that was submitted with the one
returned by the Atom processor.  Probably a pretty rare use case so may not
be worth worrying about.  Although it seems to make sense to me to make the
default behavior to replace the instance with whatever the server returns
from the put request if replace="instance" is used.

Cheers,

Fraser
