Inconsistent handling of DELETE via non-canonical URIs #66

Open SpeckiJ opened 1 month ago

SpeckiJ commented 1 month ago

Currently it is inconsistent if deletion is only possible via the canonical URI, or via all URIs. Example:

/req/create-replace-delete/sampling-feature link:

The server SHALL support the REPLACE and DELETE operations at the Sampling Feature resources endpoints defined by the following URI templates:
    - {api_root}/samplingFeatures/{id}
    - {api_root}/systems/{sysId}/samplingFeatures/{id}

/req/create-replace-delete/deployment link

The server SHALL support the REPLACE and DELETE operations at the Deployment resources endpoints defined by the following URI template:
    - {api_root}/deployments/{id}

Why is deletion via the non canonical URL "{api_root}/systems" possible for samplingFeatures but not for Deployments? They are both linked directly to systems and both have a canonical as well as a URI-via-systems.

Discussed during 09/19 telecon. Remove the second endpoint {api_root}/systems/{sysId}/samplingFeatures/{id} for REPLACE, DELETE and UPDATE (Only allow these operations at the canonical endpoint).
