Unable to append to a map [DATAREST-308]

Ian Duffy opened DATAREST-308 and commented

I am unable to append to a map entity through the default PATCH exposed by the rest exporter.

PATCH to the repository with the Content-Type of text/uri-list and a body of
+url-to-resource-to-add does work, however it sets the key on the map to "self"

I have attached a sample application. If you launch it and execute the following you should be able to reproduce

http://localhost:8080/integerAttributes

HTTP Method: POST
Content-Type: application/json
Request Body:

{
"contents": 1
}

http://localhost:8080/mapAttributes

HTTP Method: POST
Content-Type: application/json
Request Body:

{}

http://localhost:8080/mapAttributes/2/contents

HTTP Method: PATCH
Content-Type: text/uri-list
Request Body:

+http://localhost:8080/integerAttributes/1

Affects: 2.0.2 (Codd SR2), 2.1 GA (Dijkstra)
