I have hit a wall and cannot continue forward without diving into the annotation store. Here is why.

http://165.134.241.141/rerum/#/build If I get a manifest object together here and post to http://165.134.241.141/annotationstore/anno/saveNewAnnotation.action, I get a 403. I do not know why. If I post to http://165.134.156.141/annotationstore/anno/saveNewAnnotation.action, I get a 400 with the message "Didn't receive any data" which is thrown by the store when it cannot gather the "content" parameter

http://165.134.156.141/rerum/#/build If I get a manifest object together here and post to http://165.134.241.141/annotationstore/anno/saveNewAnnotation.action, CORS is no longer working so the action is denied by the browser. If I post to http://165.134.156.141/annotationstore/anno/saveNewAnnotation.action, I get a 400 with the message "Didn't receive any data" which is thrown by the store when it cannot gather the "content" parameter.

To get it to work on either server, I will need to dive into the store and figure out why this is happening.

I made this as a bookmarklet and it works fine....

javascript:(function(){
    var testObj = {"hello": "world"};
    testObj = JSON.stringify(testObj);
    var postURL = "http://165.134.156.141/annotationstore/anno/saveNewAnnotation.action?content="+testObj; 
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); 
    xhr.open("POST", postURL, true);  
    xhr.send(); 
})();

In fact, adding the manifest to the URL string like this fixed everything...so we can't include data with the angularjs $http.post() like we expect.

The working rewrite is below.

this.save = function(obj) {
            var url = obj['@id'] ?
                "http://165.134.156.141/annotationstore/anno/updateAnnotation.action?content=" :
                "http://165.134.156.141/annotationstore/anno/saveNewAnnotation.action?content=";
            var obj_str = JSON.stringify(obj); //Serialize JSON data into a string.
            var parameters = {"content":obj_str};
            url += obj_str;
            return $http.post(url);
        };

It's because the .actions in the annotation store do not look to the content of the body, they look to the URL. This is handled through our applications through internal servlets, but RERUM will not have these, so we have to write to the URLs directly for our Posts to our annotation store to work.

However, it is working. Call this piece in alpha.

The algorithm in the background should be tied into #33
