12.1p RestDataSource docs are missing some examples

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

could you extend the examples in the RestDataSource docs with information on how to do Set-queries with AdvancedCriteria and Or-queries in simple notation?

Is this correct?

<request>
    <dataSource>myDS</dataSource>
    <operationType>fetch</operationType>
    <operationId>fetchUpdatedData</operationId>
    <data>
        <_constructor>AdvancedCriteria</_constructor>
        <fieldName>ID</fieldName>
        <operator>inSet</operator>
        <value>16</value>
        <value>17</value>
        <value>18</value>
    </data>
</request>

Is this OK as well (resulting in an OR(?))?

<request>
    <dataSource>myDS</dataSource>
    <operationType>fetch</operationType>
    <operationId>fetchUpdatedData</operationId>
    <data>
        <ID>16</ID>
        <ID>17</ID>
        <ID>18</ID>
    </data>
</request>

Both requests work in 12.0p, but as the format is not defined in the docs I do not want to run into potential problems on update.

Thank you & Best regards
Blama

The AdvancedCriteria docs cover the representation of AdvancedCriteria in XML, which is the same format whether you are considering Component XML of RestDataSource queries.

The latter is a simple Criteria (not AdvancedCriteria) and works and is supported because you can just repeat elements in Component XML to create Arrays, in general, and an Array passed as a simple Criteria value is treated as an OR by default.
